I like the idea of the extension, but the implementation in lacking. According to the project's gitlab[1], there's only a dozen or so libraries are actually being served. It doesn't seem to cache google web fonts, for instance. Some sibling comments mentioned LocalCDN, which has more libraries and also includes fontawesome, but still lacks google fonts.

We should all be turning off web fonts anyway.

> "even if just for performance reasons" I don't think it matters for performance because it's cached in the browser anyway... So the purpose of the extension is privacy.
I may be wrong, but I don't think the browser caches CDN requests, at least per site... So this might be a performance gain too https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29704811/why-isnt-the-br...

I feel like that's a little unfair; it's a first step, an MVP, no?

#58Note that Decentraleyes appears to break some sites due to CSP and SRI issues. I uninstalled it months/years ago, but forgot which sites broke. The bug tracker link is at https://git.synz.io/Synzvato/decentraleyes/-/issues/16 .

Let’s say 80% of websites load Google Fonts. Now Google knows 80% of your browsing history.
