My solution more and more is to just not bother with it. If a site is unreadable because I'm using uBlock and uMatrix, and I have to spend more than a minute or two tweaking things, then I just leave.
That said, I don't have any problem with Cloudflare. I'm much more annoyed by the overuse of *.googleapis.com. I'd love if somebody would setup a service that I could point my hosts file at so that googleapis.com silently went somewhere else.
- deftturtle 7y agouMatrix is great for blocking 3rd party stuff globally in your browser. Outside of the browser, I rely on DNS blocking rather than modifying hosts files. Wrote a little post about how I configured my blacklists and whitelists with AdGuard Pro for iOS. https://www.calebyers.com/blog/dns-ad-blocking.html https://www.calebyers.com/blog/dns-ad-blocking.html
- ficklepickle 7y agoI've been thinking about a local proxy that caches CDN assets. The first request to a cdn URL goes through, subsequent requests come from cache. I think it would work fine with versioned libraries, fonts, etc. I'm thinking of setting up a container and squid config to achieve this. Any obvious problems or alternative solutions? Obviously enumerating the worlds CDN URLs would be a task. But I think even covering the most common CDNs would be a benefit.
- thefreeman 7y agoI mean your browser basically already does this by utilizing cache-control and expires headers, which all CDN's are going to set
