> To be safe online we go to sites we trust. I'm fairly confident in saying that nobody, but nobody, only goes to sites they trust. Come on. You're on HN: do you mean to tell me that you never click to open a link from a post unless you've pre-vetted the website and know it to be trustworthy? That's simply not a practicable model. And every site pulls in JavaScript which, to you, is arbitrary. You don't know that they won't add a new third-party script, and you don't know that any given third-party script won't change. You don't know that transitively for the scripts loaded by the scripts. Etc etc etc. Nobody can practise the approach you are setting out here, not both diligently and honestly. Your complaint here is just about how the internet works. It's absurd to expect Google to vet the JavaScript that all of its users host, as much as it's absurd to expect Squarespace or Weebly or even AWS or Cloudflare to do the same. The model of the internet does not and cannot rely on any and all JavaScript being vetted for 'malice' by a trusted party before being loaded. It relies on the JavaScript runtime being a safely isolated sandbox where malice or the lack thereof doesn't matter either way.
