Decentraleyes by Thomas Rientjes
Review by Klaas Vaak
Rated 5 out of 5
by Klaas Vaak, 8 years agoThis add-on is an absolute must: it speeds up browsing by improving page loading times, and Decentraleyes improves privacy by loading resources from the local system and not from remote locations. Remote sites sites may drop cookies on your local system. They may also record your Internet activity since you connect to them using a web browser, and get information out of those connections such as your operating system, the web browser you are using, your IP address or location in the world.
Support from the developer, Thomas Rientjes, is excellent. There is a good description on the Mozilla add-on page, but when I tried the recommended test utility I got a negative result. A bit surprised and confused I contacted Thomas, and he worked with me until I got the setting right.

- Rated 4 out of 5by superoci, 2 months agoUseful extension if you care about privacy, although LocalCDN is a more up-to-date alternative. This one is still good if you just want a simple extension that works out of the box.
