Curious how useful is an IP address with a simple HTTP get request?

As long as a sane Referer-Policy is set, the Referer won't be sent. Sure there's a lot more to browser fingerprinting but with just an HTTP request, all the data that would be known from it is the language and the user agent. Both of which are not unique data points and shared by thousands of other users. No cookies either in this case of Google Fonts.
