That would pretty much cover the use of CDNs that have proper versioning schemes.

Analytics, however, will remain something I'm not overly fond of. For many sites it's unnecessary. For others it's something they could nearly just as easily license and deploy to their own servers. Pulling scripts in from Google Analytics, Statcounter and others -- and especially into privacy concerned apps -- is downright irresponsible.

As I noted here: https://2x.io/read/would-the-nsa-infiltrate-cdns-to-circumve..., even Norway's tax returns site (which hosts info I'd rather not have in any foreign company's hands) use external analytic scripts. They and 90% of the rest of the internet.

No wonder the NSA claim they can circumvent most HTTPS encryption.

I'm curious who build that? Can they not count the filed docs.
