I am waiting on the edge of my seat for somebody to come up with a way to kill tracking cookies once and for all just so the EU will be able to drop this stupid bill. Honestly, the more things go on, the more I think the very fact that websites allow fetching resources from 3rd parties is a misfeature. If I go to example.com, my relationship is with example.com. This would eliminate cross-site-scripting attacks, tracking cookies, tracking images, etc. On the other hand, it would also kill CDNs. Single sign-on would have to be explicit instead of implicit. I'm not 100% sure those would be bad things.

couldnt the CDN issue be fixed by just having a little closer relationship with the CDN? - i am no expert but maybe with a dns record or similar. that way it is another host you are pulling from but within the same domain or something maybe? I don't know, overall i just wanted to say that i totally agree that it doesn't seem like a good feature you go to site X and your browser loads data and makes connections to wherever based on site x's instruction.
