Bunny Fonts: a privacy friendly 1:1 replacement for Google Fonts
Bunny Fonts is a fast, privacy-friendly Google Fonts GDPR replacement. Fully compatible and cookie-free, it offers easy integration and EU-based delivery — no tracking, no IP logging. Perfect for privacy-focused websites.
If you’re looking for a drop-in replacement for Google Fonts that respects user privacy and keeps your site fast, bunny.net/fonts is the way to go.
It works just like Google Fonts — same URL structure, same font delivery model — but with one big difference: no tracking!
A few days ago I noticed that the fonts on my blog weren't loading. At first I thought it was a bug of my super awesome Ghost hosting provider magicpages.co, but after some investigation with Jannis I noticed that a newly installed browser plugin blocked a script from a site I haven't heard before: fonts.bunny.net
I checked back with Jannis and he told me that his Ghost instances uses a privacy-friendly and full GDPR compliant alternative to Google Fonts. A 1:1 replacement and easy to switch to alternative with no downsides. Let's dive into that and see why switching makes sense and is also easy to do.
Why switch?
Let’s be honest: Google Fonts is great for convenience, but not so great for privacy. In the EU, embedding fonts from Google’s servers can even be a legal issue due to GDPR and we all know the legal cases that pop up from time to time around that topic. Bunny.net fixes that without forcing you to self-host or change your workflow.
What makes bunny.net a great alternative?
- 100% privacy-focused — No user tracking, no IP logging, no cookies.
- Google Fonts compatible API — You can literally replace
https://fonts.googleapis.comwithhttps://fonts.bunny.netin your existing code. That’s it. - Optimized delivery — Fast CDN performance through bunny.net's own CDN
- Free & open source — The fonts are from the same open source collection as Google Fonts.
- Built & Hosted in Europe – Fully GDPR compliant
How to switch from Google Fonts to bunny.net
Let’s say you’re currently using Google Fonts like this:
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Inter:wght@400;700&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">All you need to do is change the domain:
<link href="https://fonts.bunny.net/css2?family=Inter:wght@400;700&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">Nothing else changes. Your fonts load the same way, your CSS stays clean, and your users get a privacy-friendly experience.
Nearly perfect
At the time of writing, a large majority of fonts from Google Fonts are already available on fonts.bunny.net and they are actively working on expanding their collection.
Final thoughts
If you care about privacy but don’t want to deal with the hassle of self-hosting fonts, bunny.net/fonts is a no-brainer. It’s fast, free, and frictionless.
Swap the URL, and you’re done.
