The Paragonie people's blog loads CSS and JavaScript from Google's servers for no technical reason whatsoever - and of course they also use Google Analytics. I am not convinced that they care about privacy - why should I trust them on security?

But just because they use Google, doesn't mean their content is bad in terms of security. You're possibly being skeptical at this point.

I understand what you're getting at though. If someone is serious about security and privacy, they wouldn't be using Google anything.

A long, painful journey lies behind me ... :-)

I don't know. shrug

Their posts are really good though, at least I think.

The OWASP website uses Google Analytics too, and I definitely trust them about security.

Same for Paragonie by the way, they've been around for a while and are definitely trustworthy.

You might hate Google and it's your right, but it has nothing to do with the quality of these publications.
