>> I believe many developers integrate with Stripe expecting that their JS library executes and shares data only on the pages where Stripe UI elements appear on the page.
> What makes you believe that exactly?
I've read all the StackOverflow and Github issue posts I can find related to this issue.[0,1,2,3,4] The overall sentiment from developers is that they're surprised and don't want Stripe to send this information. That said, there's obviously a selection bias because the ones who consider it expected behavior don't post.
> If you include stripe.js on your About page, all bets are off for that page. You can believe all you want here, but you have explicitly included some 3rd js code, so feigning surprise that it gets executed is shallow.
Sure, I'm ultimately responsibility for what runs on my site. I believe Stripe is also responsible for clearly disclosing the behavior of their library, and I feel like open critique is an appropriate way to encourage that.
