Why You Should STOP Using Google Fonts (And How to Self-Host Your Own Web Fonts)

do I have to use firebase
pls make a vid

Excellent video and advice. Thanks Eric, you earned a new sub

Some people say that you can get sued for using Google fonts. Why would they say that? Thank you for this info BTW

This is great thanks! Was using fontsquirrel before, but this seems way better

G Fonts is used for emails too, comforting to know that they track who i send and recieve enails from even though i sont use their email service

First actual useful video to this topic, thanks!

Super cool video!

The miniature image is very funny. I laughed a lot!!!
keep it up, new suscriber

Thanks for the video! I do have a question though, I can download the font directly from Google fonts as a ttf file... Anything wrong with this?

Awesome.... def gonna try to host my own fonts. 2 things I would also wanna do is set a line-height so the text won't jump around while loading in the new font, and also add a fade-in animation (maybe 1000ms) or splash screen to hide the flash of unstyled text .... plus a smooth fade is less jarring.

Is there a Google-free alternative to reCAPTCHA? I need my website to be 100% Google-free but I need a bot authenticator because I'm going to create a log in system

Excellent advice eric. Was trying self hosting since Google fonts CDN is effectively illegal now in the EU but was having trouble with render blocking. Then I preloaded fonts after seeing this video and the issue was gone. Went from over 600ms TBT to under 150ms.

Thank You

Bruh. You literally saved my life. Pagespeed increased by ten percent! Thanks a lot.

Thanks for your helpful videos :D

Damn man, your advise is always so useful. Learned a lot from your videos, not a lot of people talk about alternatives to Google fonts or icons.

If you put "xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr" in your bspwmrc your cursor won't be a "x" when it's outside of windows

Emacs got lsp support so it's pretty much equivalent to vscode.

Thank you for this. I was just about to look for a way to self host font and you uploaded a vid.

Great video

Google fonts also violates the GDPR and every visitor is entitled to 100€ in compensation as specified by a German court few days ago.

Hey Eric Do you use Emacs as IDE?

nice video
