This need wasn’t super prevalent in the pre LLM days. It’s rare to have a multi-GB blob that should be commonly used across sites.

- abi 2y agoWell, it should be possible to just drag and drop a file/folder
- KeplerBoy 2y agoWho knows. Maybe the browser would be a more prevalent gaming platform if it could be assumed that loading a multi gigabyte game engine is no big deal, because everyone had one already cached. A lot of unity games could easily be web games, but aren't because of many roadblocks. I believe this is one of them.
- TeMPOraL 2y agoIt was a real need given how almost all sites use large JavaScript deps. However, any hopes of sharing those were destroyed by adtech people timing resource downloads to track people.
- SXX 2y agoLots and lots of websites still use Google and other CDNs for JS deps, fonts, etc.
- JimDabell 2y agoThey are cached independently these days to avoid privacy issues. So if websites A and B both use the same JavaScript dependency from a public CDN and you visit them both, you will download the JavaScript dependency twice, even if you have it cached from your visit to the first website.
