Decentraleyes: A Free and Open Source Browser Extension for Improved Privacy

A free and open source browser extension that emulates Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) by intercepting requests to CDNs and serving local files instead, improving privacy by reducing third-party requests.

What is Decentraleyes?

Decentraleyes is a free and open source browser extension available for Firefox, Chrome, and Opera. It was created to improve web privacy by emulating Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) locally in the browser.

When you visit websites, resources like JavaScript files are often loaded from other domains like CDN servers. This enables tracking of your browsing activity across different sites. Decentraleyes intercepts requests to major CDNs like Google Hosted Libraries and serves local copies of popular JavaScript libraries instead.

By preventing connections to third-party servers, Decentraleyes reduces the potential attack surface for privacy threats like browser fingerprinting and cross-site tracking. At the same time, it speeds up page loads by serving libraries locally.

Overall, Decentraleyes is a lightweight tool that seamlessly improves privacy in your everyday browsing. With reliable performance and regular updates, it's a simple way to take control over your web traffic.
