gollark: Because you can access cross-domain scripts and images without explicit optin by the site they're from, guess what? TIMING ATTACKS, *and* you can check whether there's an image or not at some arbitrary URL because while CORS weirdness won't let your code read the *content* of an image you include with `<img>` unless the site it's from opts in, you can check the width/height and whether it loaded or not.
