Hi, I'm the original author of the polyfill service. I did not own the domain name nor the GitHub account. In recent years I have not been actively involved in the project, and I'm dismayed by what's happened here. Sites using the original polyfill.io should remove it right away and use one of the alternatives or just drop it entirely - in the modern era it really isn't needed anymore.

People should have never started including javascript from third-party domains in the first place. It was always playing with fire and there were plenty of people pointing out the risks.
