I would recommend LocalCDN over Decentraleyes. They covers CDNs (more than Decentraleyes) and various libraries such as javascripts (like jQuery) and frameworks.

Let me tell you the future of using brave: you give chrome engine total rule of the law for web "standards". Google can mold the web to their desires. If you use firefox, google have to at least play nice. What's the point of using a browser frontend (used to be called chrome, but i guess google stole even the words) if tomorrow all the content depend on google-owned DRM? You will only be able to use your fancy ipfs…
It sounds good in theory, but it just isn't true. Mozilla is null factor these days, and most of their income has actually been from Google.
Google is most likely keeping them afloat just to ward off a stray monopoly charge at this point.
Does anyone know how well IPFS protects the privacy of individual users, given that any sort of P2P protocol is going to shift copyright liability for what they read or watch onto them?

Let me tell you about Mozilla. They get 90% of their funding through google. Google is their customer, you are their product.
Anyone who thinks Mozilla is independent is in deep denial.

> uBlock Origin, HTTPS Everwhere, Decentraleyes, Privacy Badger, au-revoir-utm et al should be native features at this point.
these constant debacles of add-ons and extensions being sold to adversarial maintainers, it's a good time to do integrate this if they are serious about security and privacy. I understand blocklists are a massively sensitive topic for mozilla however.
>It's... So much faster. However, it does a poor job of blocking advertisements and trackers. I'll be going back to Firefox for that reason, I can suffer the slowness. You can block ads just by editing your hosts file. There's no need to depend on any browser's particular functionality in order to get rid of them. Nor on extra hardware (Pi-hole), for that matter. I have a cron job download a prefilled copy from a pop…
That doesn't work if the website serves the ads from the same domain as the content. For example YouTube ads.

A browser with the same market share as ‘Samsung internet’ that is primarily funded by google? They have less voice than brave, who at least maintains their independence (and their own forks/build processes).
Safari is the only other real contender with 5x the market share of Firefox (and counting).

It basically doesn't, I found a few years ago that it also makes your browser more fingerprintable (though in recent time browsers are getting more resistant to this)
So even if you use a VPN with it, if you are logged into a website that knows you, it could scan what you have saved from ipfs (among known IDs anyways)

I use Firefox and have for about 15 years now. I still use it, but I no longer have hope. Not since Mozilla rolled over on EME. Mozilla is googles' lapdog, little more. At least the browser still has enough technical merit for me to continue using it, but I fear that won't remain true forever.

Out of interest, why not use uBlock on brave? That's my setup.
AdGuard with Brave is another solid option (extension and Mac app).
