Comment (by mikeperry):

 This was mentioned in the website oracles blog post comments as a way to
 cut down on traffic to popular CDNs (https://blog.torproject.org/new-low-
 cost-traffic-analysis-attacks-mitigations). Probably not comprehensive but
 the perf win is also compelling.

 I don't see any obvious downsides, assuming the components stay up to date
 and compatible with whatever versions sites use.

 I've installed this in my TBB to test (warning: this is a yolo move that
 will change the request browser's fingerprint in ways that are obvious to
 anyone who looks; and ahf also pointed out that it may have unknown
 interactions with NoScripts attempts to block scripts). I'll see if I
 notice anything.
