    Decentraleyes is dead, swap it for LocalCDN, an actively maintained fork.

          Good to know. I’ll be switching to LocalCDN then. I honestly wasn’t aware Decentraleyes had a fork.

        Must be recent then. It was stopped for a big while. Either way, as the other commenter said, LocalCDN supports more stuff and works better.

          This kind of extensions don’t need several commits every week, for example updating a software once per month could mean that it’s more stable and has less bugs than one that updates every day. About the feature though, you’re right, localCDN does block a lot more CDN requests

            You make a good point yeah. However, I believe it went radio silent for a considerable amount of time. Not a big deal though.

      Decentraleyes is not dead, it’s feature scope is just more narrow, meaning it’s reached “product maturity” quicker.

      Think of it as running Debian stable vs Arch Linux - Debian isn’t dead it just progresses at a slower and more stable pace than Arch. Slow & steady gives you tremendous stability at the cost of missing out on a few features.

      Some people, like myself, prefer stability over fancy new features. I’ve tried LocalCDN, but found it interfered with a lot more websites than Decentraleyes, which is a “set and forget” addon. Not to say the LocalCDN project is bad; its not, its great and I would like to switch back to it at some point; but in my testing, it’s not something I would set for my parents, and found it more of a hassle for myself so I switched back to Decentraleyes.
