It offers security. Just like you wouldn't use same table in your system for all users in a multi tenant application.

  If the file is hashed strongly enough then it can be no other file. I can see how information on previous sites visited can be leaked and how this could be bad but I think whitelisting by end users could still allow some files to be used. E.g. the code for react.

    The fact that you don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I make up a unique file, put it on site X and ask your browser to cache it. I try to load the same file on site Y and time how long it takes. If it's instant, site Y knows you visited site X. Tadaaa! Tracking.

      I said I ‘can see’ I already understand that. Hence the whitelisting on files that are not unique / created for this purpose.

        Ah, my bad, sorry.
