Are there any addons as essential as uBlockOrigin?
Are there any addons as essential as uBlockOrigin?
I would love to find extensions that make me think "How did I live without this?"
You're viewing a single thread.
Decentraleyes prevents loading common scripts from big name CDNs. Requesting a script from a google-owned CDN with your google cookies and the current URL as the referrer is a way to spy on you.
Decentraleyes loads these common scripts from it's own cache instead.
I often heard that Decentraleyes doesn't actually do anything 99% of the time. I don't know how true that is, though.
aparently you know more than we here.
i had to look it up,
but aparently Decentraleyes isnt being maintained and grew more useless as the time went on.aparently localCDN is a better mantained alternative.
Thanks for the tip. From the localCDN description:
Differences between LocalCDN and Decentraleyes
LocalCDN contains a big collection of frameworks and useful functions.
- New: Sync extension settings with Firefox Sync or own server
- Includes Rocket Loader, Findify, Vue.js, page.js, lozad, AngularJS, Bootstrap, Google Material Icons, React, Vue, Chart.js and much more. The list will be continuously updated.
- Includes Font Awesome in different version (v3.x, v4.x, v5.x, v6.x)
- Prepared rules for uBlock Origin/uMatrix/AdGuard and notifications if rule changes are necessary
- Removes integrity/crossorigin attributes to replace more frameworks

@Kerb @nebulaone how trustworthy is #localcdn? #Decentraleyes is kind of confirmed by #Mozilla, they even recommend it
The source code is public ( https://codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN ) and it has a reasonable amount of stars. So I think it should be fine. No guarantees, though.
I saw there has been a recent update to Decentraleyes. Not sure if this addresses the abandoned issue though. Trying out LOCALCDN instead..
