Site lies about 3rd-party javascript

See original GitHub issue

Visiting filterlists.com with js disabled says:

We do not use any third-party JavaScript, and your privacy is very important to us.

Yet there’s a script from cdn.polyfill.io.

It was added in an (ultimately failed) attempt to get the site to load in Internet Explorer 11, as a quick Google search told me that such a polyfill script was by far the easiest solution to get around the “Promise is undefined” error.

However, after the script was added, it turned out that IE11 was still throwing a fit about a dozen different JS elements, so I guess that the polyfill script can be removed for now if needed (presuming it wouldn’t be worth it for now to convert it to a 1st-party script).
