Re the #polyfillio malware issue:
I've seen a lot of people telling web developers to update any sites that use the service. But we all know there are countless unmaintained websites out there for small business and orgs.
The other thing that should be done is clientside, to block access to the URL so your browser won't download the malware even if a website asks it to.
Anyone got a good guide for doing that, at the individual browser or OS level? (For those without institutional firewalls.)
