 CDN/X-Domain Setup
 ======
 
-Respond.js works by requesting a pristine copy of your CSS via AJAX, so if you host your stylesheets on a CDN (or a subdomain), you'll need to upload a proxy page to enable cross-domain communication.
-
-See `cross-domain/example.html` for a demo:
-
-- Upload `cross-domain/respond-proxy.html` to your external domain
-- Upload `cross-domain/respond.proxy.gif` to your origin domain
-- Reference the file(s) via `<link />` element(s):
-
-<pre>
-	&lt;!-- Respond.js proxy on external server --&gt;
-	&lt;link href=&quot;http://externalcdn.com/respond-proxy.html&quot; id=&quot;respond-proxy&quot; rel=&quot;respond-proxy&quot; /&gt;
-
-	&lt;!-- Respond.js redirect location on local server --&gt;
-	&lt;link href=&quot;/path/to/respond.proxy.gif&quot; id=&quot;respond-redirect&quot; rel=&quot;respond-redirect&quot; /&gt;
-
-	&lt;!-- Respond.js proxy script on local server --&gt;
-	&lt;script src="/path/to/respond.proxy.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
-</pre>
-
-If you are having problems with the cross-domain setup, make sure respond-proxy.html does not have a query string appended to it.
-
-Note: HUGE thanks to @doctyper for the contributions in the cross-domain proxy!
+Respond.js works by requesting a pristine copy of your CSS via AJAX, so if you host your stylesheets on a CDN (or a subdomain), you'll need to set up a local proxy to request the CSS for old IE browsers. Prior versions recommended a deprecated x-domain approach, but a local proxy is preferable (for performance and security reasons) to attempting to work around the cross-domain limitations.
