In a similar vein, LocalCDN is an extension to serve the most common javascript libraries from your browser instead of going to 3rd party servers, while there are edge cases when you use a local copy, I've rarely had an issue. https://codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN/ https://codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN/ Removes integrity and crossorigin tags from embedded script and style elements to replace even more frameworks Font Awesome Google Material Icons jQuery Bootstrap CSS Bootstrap JavaScript AngularJS, AngularJS-Animate, AngularJS-Sanitize, AngularJS-Cookies and AngularJS-Touch React, Vue.js, Chart.js and many other frameworks/libraries MathJax (minimal) TinyMCE (without plugins) Prepared rules for uBlock Origin, uMatrix, AdGuard and NoScript More complete lists can be found in the source code, there are a lot of them: https://codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN/src/branch/main/core/mappings.js https://codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN/src/branch/main/core/ma... https://codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN/src/branch/main/core/resources.js https://codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN/src/branch/main/core/re...

  LocalCDN actually started as a fork of decentraleyes with much more included and is updated more often.

  Decentraleyes resources are hugely out of date to the point where it does nothing.

  Tried this when it was actively developed and it done nothing but spew a load of errors in my browser console. Not sure if that was intended, but it made me cry looking at all the errors. It also broke many sites, where the proper jQuery version wasn't served, and a bunch of CSP errors in my console too. On top of this, it increases the fingerprintability of the browser, so this was an easy uninstall.

This will do nothing for websites that are built with bundlers, since the site-specific code will be in the same file making it unique. Probably still catches a good few though.

  I thought the whole point is to avoid sending HTTP requests to third party sites. At least for privacy. So in a way who cares if this sites give you all the content instead of just part of the content?

LocalCDN provides no meaningful privacy gains over enabling Total Cookie Protection (i.e. dynamic FPI, already enabled by default in modern versions of Firefox) and disabling cross-site referers, which you should do anyways.

  This, it's also why it's in the category of "don't bother" https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/4.1-Extensions#-dont-bother https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/4.1-Extensions#-don... not only that it will make your browser easier to fingerprint as one of the Tor developers pointed out.

    +1, that guide is a beacon of light in the sea of misinformation about what extensions to use. I agree with almost everything on it.
    - dngray 4y ago
      Yes "we" (privacyguides.org) consult with the authors of that project as well as a few others. It was nice to see they quoted our blog article https://www.privacyguides.org/blog/2021/12/01/firefox-privacy-2021-update/ https://www.privacyguides.org/blog/2021/12/01/firefox-privac... We've been on a bit of a mission of trying to dissuade people from "old thinking" of installing a gazillion "privacy extensions".

        Are the abbreviation tooltips written by hand or generated programmatically? In "Total Cookie Protection (TCP)" it says TCP stands for Transmission Control Protocol.

        Just a quick FYI: > We also noticed that there isn’t an option for HTTPS-Only mode. Firefox on Android does support that, nowadys.

first time I've seen codeberg is this the github/gitlab alternative?

  yes. they use gitea, btw.

With caches now partitioned in all browsers, and CDN-hosting your code now strictly a worse option overall, it's becoming rarer and rarer for this extension to activate in my browser. I'm likely to uninstall it soon, which is a good thing.
