The flowchart [1] looks wrong to me. The website says load jQuery v3.3.1 and LocalCDN loads jQuery v3.4.1 instead while removing integrity checks. LocalCDN seems to assume that it knows better than the website which version of a library works for that site. It may be harmless for certain library versions, but could wreak havoc for others. Sorry, this is not responsible behavior from an extension.
I looked at the wiki and found this: [2]
> Can I check if LocalCDN really works?
> Yes you can
Really??? This sounds like a snarky answer instead of providing some ways for a user to check that it works.
I think I'll stick with Decentraleyes for now.

- choffee 6y agoThe "Yes you can" expands when you click on the arrow next to it. No obvious though. ( Might be new? )
- u566 6y agoI'm using LocalCDN for a few weeks and it looks pretty good so far. The developer once answered me and said that there are so many jQuery versions and that the extension would be very big. I checked and there are actually over 150
- llarsson 6y agoI have used Decentraleyes for a long time and it has only offloaded me 55 times. That is less than I thought. By flushing versions and integrity checks down the toilet, this new one could probably easily reduce traffic much further! What a great idea.
