I would love to find extensions that make me think “How did I live without this?”

    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.
