I've seen some browser extensions that use local copies of the usual CDN scripts and such. I wonder how much better that could be if it was a proper browser feature coupled with some sort of a privacy proxy? Though I imagine that the same local cache fingerprinting issues might still apply here.

- FrontAid 6y agoMost browsers changed that to a site-based cache instead of a global one. https://www.zdnet.com/article/firefox-to-ship-network-partitioning-as-a-new-anti-tracking-defense/ https://www.zdnet.com/article/firefox-to-ship-network-partit...

Example: gravatar.com gives an expiration time of 5 minutes. curl -q -i --output - https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/70d9b050bfe39350c234d710fadfcd39 https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/70d9b050bfe39350c234d710fadf... | grep -a xpires expires: Fri, 12 Feb 2021 11:54:40 GMT
