Yet another project that promotes the idea of injecting JavaScript from another domain into your website.

I am so tired of this terrible practice being promoted by all these fancy front-end projects.

At least we can now block this stuff with the Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers. I just don't want to have to explain keep explaining to junior developers and designers over and over why loading JS from another domain terrible for security and privacy and does not improve performance.

Using a CDN is convenient, but entirely optional. You can host it yourself with the same effect.

For open source web projects, a public CDN is a vital tool that lets users try a project with minimal investment. That it’s used by so many people says a lot about convenience and ease of use.
