Rated 5 out of 5
by Klaas Vaak, 7 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.
To get the add-on working properly, copy paste the rules into uBlock as shown here https://git.synz.io/Synzvato/decentraleyes/wikis/Frequently-Asked-Questions#for-umatrix-and-ublock-origin-non-easy-mode-users

- Rated 5 out of 5by hoggys2much, 21 days agoI have a question. I'll explain:
I live in The United Kingdom and in July the government implimented some utterly draconian age restrictions to the internet so I took to using a VPN.
But since using a VPN I couldn't watch Youtube on other websites. I Kept getting "Please sign in to prove you are not a bot". when I treied watching them.
Then yesterday under recommendations was this add-on so I thought I would add it.
Then today on a website I accidently clicked on an embeded Youtube video and it was working. No more of that stupid "please sign in".
So if this has stopped that nonsense I thank you so much.
I wish I could give higher than 5 stars. - Rated 5 out of 5by ZIKRIE H.RAHMAN, a month ago
