I wonder if it'd be possible to sign the JS a site serves you, so you know it's unchanged from when you originally got it?

You can sign it, but then your clients would have to install an extension to verify it.

I think it's theoretically possible to use Service Workers to do this, giving you a TOFU trust guarantee, although I think there are some issues due to the spec-mandated auto-updating of Service Workers every 24 hours.
