I discussed that argument over here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30139489

Summary: A company did try the “it was the browser, not us” argument in the “Fashion ID” case. The court did not fall for it. Data controller and thus responsible for compliance is whoever determines the purposes and means of processing. Being able to control what the website does seems to be good evidence for being a data controller.

In this Google Fonts case, the website operator didn't even try this discredited argument.

Thanks, that's very relevant and on-point (as opposed to my examples).
