Once upon a time we had HTML Imports which were lovely. But it made browser vendors nervous since folks could do stuff without Javascript. And what would then happen to all their tracking ? So, they unanimously purged the feature.

- youngtaff 3y agoThe problem with imports is they were render blocking Don’t need JS to do tracking, and browsers can track without needs any marketing tags at all
- lenkite 3y agoNot a big deal. There are already render blocking resources today. Could be ameliorated with an async attribute if needed. Obviously browsers that directly track users will lead a stinking public cloud and litigation. Vendors prefer their customers do the tracking for them. And make the ecosystem unable to function without tracking.
