As a site owner, the best thing you can do for your users is to serve all your resources from a server you control. Serving javascript (or any resource) from a CDN was never a great idea and is pointless these days with browser domain isolation, you might as well just copy any third party .js in your build process.

I wrote a coincidently related rant post last week that didn't set the front page of HN on fire so I won't bother linking to it but the TL/DR is that a whole range of supply chain attacks just go away if you host the files yourself. Each third party you force your users to request from is an attack vector you don't control.

I get what this proposal is trying to achieve but it seems over complex. I would hate to have to integrate this into my build process.
