     POLL: do webdevs know what happens when they tell a browser to fetch a css from, fonts.googleapis.com, typekit, or jsdelivr, do they realize the false economy of it? do they realize that google, akamai and cloudflare respectively will learn when people are visiting your site via things like the referrer header?

     A yes, they know, dont care.
     B they know but either in bed with googs, or scared of not appeasing googs
     C no idea, they just think "FREE CACHE.... KOOL!"
     D no idea, copy/pasted from another site or some corporate captured tutorial claiming a 0.2 second speed benefit, lol.
