Re: Faster web sites

You can do such data collection and processing as is required to perform the service the resident requested.

No more.

It's very simple.

Giving your IP address to Google is not necessary. For example, the font is demonstrably not required at all - the browser has its own font store.

Heck, the user may be using a screen reader and not rendering fonts at all.
