It wouldn't break the internet. The internet was fine when the vast majority of sites hosted all their own content and didn't ask your browser to load crap from dozens of domains. It wasn't even that long ago. Honestly I think it was better.

But it has since evolved, greatly, in complexity. Just because things were like something once, doesn't make it easy to go back. Hey, I'm all for more privacy, I'd like to go back to how it was before but keep the good parts from today, but this would make it harder for the small guy without some advancements in IT, private CDNs and easier font management. IT is already a nightmare just to keep it from breaking.
