polyfill.io library is no longer considered safe to use

Problem/Motivation

The polyfill.io library has been sold to a Chinese company named Funnull that is not considered trustworthy. We believe this poses a grave security threat and the library is now considered unsafe.

There is also evidence https://github.com/polyfillpolyfill/polyfill-service/issues/2873#issueco... that polyfill.io is used to serve malicious code.

Proposed resolution

There are some mentions in the project code to polyfill.io which could be replaced with a safe option from Fastly or Cloudflare.
