(This is partly-related to 'FusionCash' or 'Support,' but it branches from a general complaint about laziness.)

Quite regularly, content-delivery/distribution-networks (CDNs) have frozen my browser. First there was/is the 'akamaihd'-CDN (used by Facebook). Then there was/is the 'wsrcdn'-CDN, used by Wiser Surveys.

Computer-geeks claim CDNs do complicated feats to deliver content to info-seekers across the whole-wide `Net, but it comes across as more like 'webmasters redirecting info-seekers to other servers (which redirect them to yet other servers etc.)' And Firefox reads that as an 'unresponsive script.'

The way it's supposed to be is end-to-end:
Quote from: Saltzer, Reed and Clark, paraphrased by Wikipedia
application-specific functions ought to reside in the end hosts of a network rather than in intermediary nodes –  provided they can be implemented "completely and correctly" in the end hosts.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------That's what a Pharisee might say today. You now have the chance to respond as my mentor Jesus-of-Joseph would, and I pray that you will!
