posted 10 months agoIf you mean the installation when you say "add this to your browser", then this is normal. The extension contains the libraries which are otherwise downloaded from the internet and this is why it is 20 MB in size. So far no one has reported any performance problems and none of my own installations have such behavior, but I only use Firefox and LocalCDN on different Linux distributions and Androids.
To analyze this in detail further information (operating system, hardware, other extensions, etc.) and tests are required, but I cannot do this because it is not reproducible on my side. Try it with a fresh new profile and only LocalCDN. Maybe the problem is caused by the combination with other extensions. You can send me the results by e-mail. - Rated 5 out of 5by geeknik, a year ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by JJ, 2 years agoI'd rate as 5 stars if it's not due to its broken URL matching. e.g. I can't even visit the home page of any CDN server unless the whole CDN domain is excluded from LocalCDN or unless LocalCDN is disabled.

posted 2 years agoThanks for the feedback. The main task of LocalCDN is to redirect requests to CDNs to the internal storage or block them. Of course, this also includes the rare case when a user wants to visit a CDN's website directly. Normal users are not interested in CDNs or their websites, so advanced users should add CDN websites to the allowed list. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13277273, 2 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by cheatfreak47, 2 years agoLocalCDN is a bit of a "tin-foil hat" style privacy tool if you ask me.
The prospect of relatively generic online resources hosted on content delivery networks being used to track you is definitely questionable, but on the other hand, reducing your networking footprint is still a generally good thing to do regardless- and LocalCDN seems to help with that goal, to some extent.
It seems to work, and it rarely causes trouble for sites most of the time, and it even supports whitelisting individual sites, so when it does break things, you can make it unbreak those things.
It's good but it's still up in the air how much this is actually contributing to your online privacy, if you ask me. - Rated 5 out of 5by MarsSeed, 2 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by days, 2 years agogood thats its open source but even if i disable the extension for a website, the fonts are still not showing for some icons, e.g. arrow icons, when you have block google fonts on, disable, extension for website, refresh, it doesnt show fonts still, you have to remove cookies and site data, refresh, then it works

posted 2 years agoIt would be great if you can also give an example so I can fix the issue. - Rated 3 out of 5by Tar-Man, 2 years agoAmazing in principle, and props for keeping Decentraleyes up-to-date. But in practice I kept having issues with exception fields not saving properly, sync not being reliable, and too much manual intervention required for sites that had issues. It's up to you if that's worth it to you. Very responsive dev. Wish I could rate higher.

posted 2 years agoThanks for your feedback. I've been testing Firefox Sync for the last few days and could not find any errors while it was running, but I could find a few issues right after browser start. Hopefully these changes will fix the problem: https://codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN/issues/1510 - Rated 5 out of 5by Freso, 2 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by DR, 2 years agoThe "Disable Google Fonts" option keeps re-enabling itself. I have to disable it every time i restart the browser
Developer response
posted 2 years agoIf you are using the "Sync" storage option, then there is a problem with Firefox Sync Storage here right now. See here: https://codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN/issues/1510 - Rated 2 out of 5by Michał Turek, 2 years agoI have disabled `Block Google Fonts` option more than 10 times already but this option keeps re-enabling itself after every browser restart even on fresh profile. This keeps breaking YouTube. Bug may be related with Firefox Sync between multiple Firefox browsers on multiple devices
Developer response
posted 2 years agoYes, it's because of Firefox's sync store. On desktop it worked very well for a long time, but unfortunately not on mobile. That it now also does not work on the desktop is new.
I have extended the wiki, marked the option as beta and created an issue on Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN/issues/1510 - Rated 5 out of 5by brxdley, 2 years ago
