Y'all remember #PolyfillIO?
I realize the lesson there is; don't depend on code from domains you don't control, and in an ideal world that's what you should do
But is there still a need there? Are there #webPlatform features you'd like to use but you don't want to introduce a build process just to bundle the #polyfill from #NPM?
Or is there no point in #polyfills since #browsers don't share caches between origins these days so there's no precaching benefit anymore?

So, I'm thinking; what if I build polyfill.io, but on the Blockchain! Hey come back..
Hear me out; #fleekfunctions are immutable, and transparent. So long as the #fleeknetwork nodes can be trusted to execute the code properly (I presume there are cryptographic guarantees of output validity) then it could be safer from supply chain attacks.

> #China-based company #Funnull acquired the domain and the GitHub account that hosted the #JavaScript code. On June 25, researchers from #security firm Sansec reported that code hosted on the polyfill domain had been changed to redirect users to adult- and gambling-themed websites. The code was deliberately designed to mask the redirections by performing them only at certain times of the day and only against visitors who met specific criteria.

GitHub has placed a warning on the PolyfillIO repository (https://github.com/polyfillpolyfill/polyfill-service), and has denied access for non-logged in users. The other two repositories owned by that account are unblocked. Dismissing the warning appears to be permanent for an account.

Related to @jeni's post on #Drupal Quicklink (https://drupal.community/@jeni/112683429949433765), there's also a #Webform risk, explained here:
https://www.drupal.org/project/webform/issues/3427662#comment-15655973You're not vulnerable just by having Webform, you have to have enabled the Choices sub module both at system and field level.
HTH! #infosec #polyfill #polyfillio
