I knew someone would say this, as if I had unlimited dev time.
- hansen 9y agoYou shouldn't use the term enhancing user experience. It’s a synonym for doing something against the interest of the user.

- mcpherrinm 9y agoYou don't need cross-origin scripts for this: you can host it yourself. If you were to disallowed loading scripts cross-origin, everyone would just end up creating subdomains for everything you wanted to load, which would be worse security-wise I bet, as you'd lose some of the cross origin security features we have today.
