Decentraleyes

Protects you against tracking through "free", centralized, content delivery. It prevents a lot of requests from reaching networks like Google Hosted Libraries, and serves local files to keep sites from breaking. Complements regular content blockers.

I like that it's a balance between stopping trackers (privacy) and content delivery, as opposed to plugins like NoScript which often break page functionality.

It didn't seem to pick up where Tor Browser left off, but I didn't give it much chance.

Works well with uBlock Origin without breaking sites.

Speeds up browsing, makes browsing more private!

Software for Privacy

Privacy-enhancing software I trust / recommend. Browsers and their extensions, email providers, VPN services, note-taking apps, passwords managers, backup, sync and encryption software - to name just a few.

Security and Privacy Enhancing Firefox Add-ons

The add-ons on this list will harden your Firefox installation against security risks and invasions of privacy. Be sure to also get a secure, anonymous, no logs, leak proof VPN service that is based outside of the Five Eyes (the US, the UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand) and the Enemies of the Internet. You'll find a list of options here. Are you more of a Chrome/Chromium kind of person? Don't worry, we got you covered as well.

What is Decentraleyes?

Websites have increasingly begun to rely much more on large third-parties for content delivery. Canceling requests for ads or trackers is usually without issue, however blocking actual content, not unexpectedly, breaks pages. The aim of this add-on is to cut-out the middleman by providing lightning speed delivery of local (bundled) files to improve online privacy.

• Protects privacy by evading large delivery networks that claim to offer free services. • Complements regular blockers such as uBlock Origin (recommended), Adblock Plus, et al. • Works directly out of the box; absolutely no prior configuration required.

Decentraleyes is no silver bullet, but it does prevent a lot of websites from making you send these kinds of requests. Ultimately, you can make Decentraleyes block requests for missing CDN resources, too.
