Remove Google tracking #89

Closed christianbauer closed 7 years ago

christianbauer commented 8 years ago

Google is tracking component users through their font servers, every page load results in requests to https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto+Mono:400,700 etc.

If I use Google components directly, I always remove this to protect my users' privacy. Maybe you can exclude this when converting the components as well.

Could you elaborate a bit ? from where do you want us to remove this call ?

We must provide the roboto.html as part of our bower_components bundle in order no to break dependencies. We cannot modify the file because other users could be interested on using it.

The user could avoid using that class just providing an empty bower_components/font-roboto/roboto.html in their public folder, so as this would override the bundled one.
