Fetch directives tell the browser the locations to trust and load resources from. Most fetch directives have a certain fallback list specified in w3. This list allows for granular control of the source of scripts, images, files, etc. child-src allows the developer to control nested browsing contexts and worker execution contexts. connect-src provides control over fetch requests, XHR, eventsource, beacon and websockets connections. font-src specifies which URLs to load fonts from. img-src specifies the URLs that images can be loaded from. manifest-src specifies the URLs that application manifests may be loaded from. media-src specifies the URLs from which video, audio and text track resources can be loaded from. prefetch-src specifies the URLs from which resources can be prefetched from. object-src specifies the URLs from which plugins can be loaded from. script-src specifies the locations from which a script can be executed from. It is a fallback directive for other script-like directives. script-src-elem controls the location from which execution of script requests and blocks can occur. script-src-attr controls the execution of event handlers. style-src controls from where styles get applied to a document. This includes elements, @import rules, and requests originating from a Link HTTP response header field. style-src-elem controls styles except for inline attributes. style-src-attr controls styles attributes. default-src is a fallback directive for the other fetch directives. Directives that are specified have no inheritance, yet directives that are not specified will fall back to the value of default-src.
