It should just not be done at all. But the main browser vendor loves tracking so they won't forbid this.

Maybe, but just from a security point of view it's totally fine.

Getting tracked is less secure than not getting tracked.

Very clever. But getting tracked doesn't in any way protect you from getting hacked. It just exposes you to more risks, including getting hacked.

Are you saying Chrome should block all script includes that don't have hashes? That'll break tons of sites. See "Don't break the web"[1].
Disclosure: I work at Google, but not on Chrome.

Also expired certificates break a lot of websites… should we disable checking?

Certificate expiration isn't an unanticipated regression. You know when you get a certificate when it will expire.

I don't mean to be pedantic, but not always--see the recent DigiCert delayed revocation issues. I will admit it is rare though and more often than not, you (should) know when your certs are going to expire.
