Does this addon have any security implications when used in combination with uBlock or NoScript? If the JS is being injected, does that induce any risks of JS being executed when it should be blocked?
I've used Decentraleyes for a while now and it works great. I would actually like to see it—or more specifically, the idea—integrated into browsers. It would improve privacy, (potentially) security, and speed at the cost of disk space.
I was thinking the same but then browsers have caches and most of the CDNs (e.g. jsdeliver) set max-age to a year and immutable so you're only tracked once

The whole maintainers and forks thingy between Decentraleyes and LocalCDN seems so strange to me that I'm left with more suspicious about which should I use, if I ever should use any given their both behavior regarding the forks. I don't feel "safe" to use something so critical privacy-wise in that situation. EDIT: refs https://codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN/issues/51 https://gitlab.com/nobody42/localcdn/-/issues/5 htt…

It's a cool idea, even if just for performance reasons. So many things come from CDNs these days, we may as well start shopping the common ones ahead of time. But recently I learned something unexpected. Lots of extensions are terrible with their resources. On a page targeting tech-savvy people, around 1% of requests has some extension content injected into the website which requests an external font file. (info come…
I don't think it matters for performance because it's cached in the browser anyway... So the purpose of the extension is privacy.
isn't your browser already caching these resources for you.

> Sadly, no. Even if the file in question is stored inside of your cache, your browser might still contact the referenced Content Delivery Network to check if the resource has been modified.
