by adamhybel, 7 months agoDecentraleyes is a unique and powerful privacy-enhancing extension that smartly protects you from tracking via large Content Delivery Networks (CDNs).
- Stops CDN Tracking: Prevents tracking by major CDNs (like Google Hosted Libraries, Microsoft Ajax CDN, etc.) that often log your visits when websites request common resources (like fonts or JavaScript libraries) from them.
- Serves Common Libraries Locally: Instead of fetching these standard web resources from external CDNs, Decentraleyes instantly provides them from its own local storage, cutting out the third-party request entirely.
- Enhanced Privacy: Significantly reduces your digital footprint by eliminating unnecessary connections to potentially tracking servers, complementing your existing ad/content blockers.
- Improves Speed (Potentially): By serving resources locally, it can sometimes lead to faster page loads, as it avoids network latency for these common files.
- Lightweight & Transparent: Like uBlock Origin, it's designed to be efficient and operates seamlessly in the background. It's free, open-source, and trustworthy.
- Set and Forget: Simply install it, and it works automatically. No configuration is needed for excellent baseline protection.
That's it! Decentraleyes adds a crucial layer of privacy protection that many users overlook. It works perfectly alongside tools like uBlock Origin. A must-have for anyone serious about reducing online tracking. Huge thanks to the developers for this clever and indispensable tool. Highly recommended!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Saint.77, a month agoOne of those nice addons that increase anonymity without breaking functionality which makes this a must have.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Lilith D. Bracken, a month agoThis extension is fantastic for improving privacy without breaking websites. It stops tracking from centralized content delivery networks by serving local files instead of loading them from Google or other providers. Pages still work perfectly, and it works alongside other blockers for even more protection. It’s lightweight, easy to use, and quietly makes browsing safer. A great addition if you want to reduce online tracking without affecting how sites load.

- Rated 5 out of 5by hoggys2much, 2 months agoI have a question. I'll explain:
I live in The United Kingdom and in July the government implimented some utterly draconian age restrictions to the internet so I took to using a VPN.
But since using a VPN I couldn't watch Youtube on other websites. I Kept getting "Please sign in to prove you are not a bot". when I treied watching them.
Then yesterday under recommendations was this add-on so I thought I would add it.
Then today on a website I accidently clicked on an embeded Youtube video and it was working. No more of that stupid "please sign in".
So if this has stopped that nonsense I thank you so much.
I wish I could give higher than 5 stars. - Rated 5 out of 5by ZIKRIE H.RAHMAN, 2 months ago
