I would love to find extensions that make me think "How did I live without this?"

I often heard that Decentraleyes doesn't actually do anything 99% of the time. I don't know how true that is, though.

aparently you know more than we here.

i had to look it up,
but aparently Decentraleyes isnt being maintained and grew more useless as the time went on.

aparently localCDN is a better mantained alternative.

Thanks for the tip. From the localCDN description:

Differences between LocalCDN and Decentraleyes

LocalCDN contains a big collection of frameworks and useful functions.

  • New: Sync extension settings with Firefox Sync or own server
  • Includes Rocket Loader, Findify, Vue.js, page.js, lozad, AngularJS, Bootstrap, Google Material Icons, React, Vue, Chart.js and much more. The list will be continuously updated.
  • Includes Font Awesome in different version (v3.x, v4.x, v5.x, v6.x)
  • Prepared rules for uBlock Origin/uMatrix/AdGuard and notifications if rule changes are necessary
  • Removes integrity/crossorigin attributes to replace more frameworks

@Kerb @nebulaone how trustworthy is #localcdn? #Decentraleyes is kind of confirmed by #Mozilla, they even recommend it

[-] nebulaone@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

The source code is public ( https://codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN ) and it has a reasonable amount of stars. So I think it should be fine. No guarantees, though.

I saw there has been a recent update to Decentraleyes. Not sure if this addresses the abandoned issue though. Trying out LOCALCDN instead..
