Decentraleyes prevents loading common scripts from big name CDNs. Requesting a script from a google-owned CDN with your google cookies and the current URL as the referrer is a way to spy on you.
Decentraleyes loads these common scripts from it's own cache instead.
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.
@Kerb @nebulaone how trustworthy is #localcdn? #Decentraleyes is kind of confirmed by #Mozilla, they even recommend it
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.
