• Apr 24th is JavaScript Naked Day – Browse the web without JavaScript

  In the same spirit as this initiative and uBlock Origin and NoScript: > Decentraleyes is a free and open-source browser extension used for local content delivery network (CDN) emulation. Its primary task is to block connections to major CDNs such as Cloudflare and Google (for privacy and anti-tracking purposes) and serve popular web libraries (such as JQuery and AngularJS) locally on the user's machine.... - Source: Hacker News / 5 days ago

• SpaceX will start delivering Starlink for aviation from 2023

  DecentralEyes stores common files locally (JS libraries, fonts), so you don't need to waste bandwidth fetching them over and over. These days I actually prefer LocalCDN, which is the more active fork and features an even larger local library. Source: over 1 year ago

  While we're talking about privacy and CDN delivery, check out Decentraleyes. It's a browser extension which keeps a local cache of common CDN-delivered files. https://decentraleyes.org/ I wondered if it supports fonts out of the box, but not currently. https://github.com/Synzvato/decentraleyes/issues/105. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Public CDNs Are Useless and Dangerous

  This article has a lot of good points and suggestions for site creators, but for consumers, there is something you can use: the Decentraleyes browser addon (https://decentraleyes.org/). It basically intercepts calls to well-known centralized CDNs and serves it locally from the browser without issuing any network calls whatsoever. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Is it possible to replace all Google fonts with local copies?

  I use Decentraleyes and have hoped that it would add support for substituting font requests from common CDNs, but it looks like such a feature is much-requested but not yet implemented. Source: about 2 years ago

• Play Wordle from Your Terminal

  While they often are, there’s no rule that web apps have to be a privacy nightmare. Thanks to Hacker News¹, I recently came across Learn systemd by example². The site itself is hosted by Hetzner, a German hosting provider that take user privacy seriously³ and uses Cloudflare as a privacy-conscious CDN⁴. The only third-party resources it uses are Google fonts. Users of uMatrix⁵ or uBlock... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Remote code execution in cdnjs of Cloudflare

  For users: Decentraleyes (https://decentraleyes.org/) is a browser extension that will intercept requests to common CDN library services and serves them from local storage instead if at all possible, kinda like enforcing aggressive Cache-Control for all CDN resources. It's a privacy-oriented extension, but it may still protect from an eventual zero-day like this. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Instagram is now recommending me ads for a website I visited on my computer

  This comment is correct, but I’d like to add a couple things: - Cloudflare is not the most privacy-friendly company. You better choose a DNS here - Not only ISP, but also cloud providers (e.g. Cloudflare, Google) that host the site can sell your data. Unfortunately there’s not much you can do about it. Decentraleyes browser extension will block requests to cloud providers and replace them with local resource. But... Source: almost 3 years ago
