JSDELIVR
Used in WordPress. Hosts lots more than Google's or Microsoft's. But, not as "complete" as CDNJS, yet. There are JS, CSS, images, etc. You can submit your libraries too there.
The libraries and contents will be robustly delivered with the speed you can count on. Also, no problem for cross-domain thingy.
