      I'm so sick of websites websites refusing to even display text and images if I don't agree to run their proprietary Javascript on my computer. Isn't it time that browsers started treating requests to run Javascript like requests to use the mic or camera, and asked the user before allowing them? Ideally with crowdsourced info about what the scripts are, and what they do? In other words, make something like #NoScript a standard part of browsers.

         I understand why: They can add functionality without bringing it into the browser. Problem: it’s not merged back into browsers. For that it could help to have sri-caching with browser-shipped code: https://hillbrad.github.io/sri-addressable-caching/sri-addressable-caching.html
