- 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

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
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17970086, 2 years agoDunno what people are talking about. No issues with Youtube and I never had to unbreak a single site because of this extension. Must have other issues and blaming it on this.
Developer response
posted 2 years agoNot really. The extension blocks Google Fonts in the default settings. It's all described in the FAQs: https://codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN/wiki#user-content-26-i-ve-a-problem-with-google-services-e-g-google-maps-or-youtube- Rated 5 out of 5by Daniele Basso, 2 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16548668, 2 years agoIt's a good extension. I would give it 5 stars, if I wouldn't have this displease: after restarting Firefox my "Deactivate LocalCDN for these domains" list gets reset. I would like a fix for this (or an option to disable the resetting behavior) -- I assume this is a bug, since it happens on my personal and my work PCs in Ff, but not in Chrome-based browsers.

posted 2 years agoSorry for the late reply. Unfortunately I can't reproduce this. Have you ever tested this with a fresh profile?
It would be better if you create a ticket to analyze this: https://codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17867194, 3 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by drkenrich, 3 years agoIt stops Google Maps from working. I was installing Windows 11 on a new computer when I found Google Maps wasn't working. I feared I was going to have to start installation all over again (HORROR!).
Based on another forum comment I tried troubleshooting and eventually found LocalCDN is the single addon that breaks Google Maps.Developer response
posted 3 years agoThis is related to Google Fonts, which are blocked by default in LocalCDN.
You can find details in the FAQs: https://codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN/wiki/Home#26-i-ve-a-problem-with-google-services-e-g-google-maps
Solution: Allow LocalCDN to load Google Fonts, then the buttons will work again.
