I'm back to thinking about CSRF: why is it useful for sites to be able to embed resources (like <img src="othersite.com/whatever.jpg">) and for the browser to send the user's cookies to the third-party site?

There's "ads" and "tracking" obviously but I feel like there's another actually-useful-to-users reason I'm not thinking of

@b0rk When half of your infrastructure was set up by another company on a separate domain it can be pretty handy. It's the situation at my current work but that must be pretty rare really.
