Why do I need to compile Bootstrap instead of using the CDN in Laravel 8

Viewed 417

I'm a graphic designer who just started learning Laravel this week, recently I've been searching how to install the latest bootstrap version in my project correctly, which is all I need to be honest and I'm not too comfortable with other options like Tailwind.

As some tutorials and answers have suggested I ended up compiling and using a famous project named laravel/ui, sadly the resulting version comes with a few changes, that just doesn't look as good in my opinion (different fonts like Nonito, colors and margins)

So now I'm wondering...

  • Why is it not recommended to just add the CDN links in my master template?
  • Is it possible to update this compiled CSS somehow to make it look as the CDN?

Sorry if this questions might be opinion based, but I'm really out of places to ask, seems like the documentation for Laravel 8.x has removed everything related to Frontend, which are making thing even more confusing for me with all these options Laravel offers.
