Just a few years ago, you could append .nyud.net to any domain and fetch it through the Coral cache instantly. But it's apparently been quietly swept under the rug.
Caching is such a basic thing to do that I'm concerned that the current crop of CDNs will mostly be used for mass surveillance. I also worry that VPNs are used for similar purposes by spy agencies.
IMHO the static web should have been distributed from the start. It should have been https everywhere. We should have kept cookies instead of trying to wedge in security on the frontend with OAuth, which is like a leaky sieve in comparison. We should have had Subresource Integrity (SRI) and been able to load scripts and other sensitive files from these caches fearlessly.
