- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14221976, 7 years agoA crucial element to one's web privacy toolbox, Decentraleyes is a set-it and forget-it extension that, since its release, I've never had to disable.

- Rated 5 out of 5by 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.

So, yeah. So, you've got some caching proxies. Let's make THEM as useful as we can.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14133957, 7 years agoThird-party CDNs are bane of the Internet and harmful to users’ privacy. This extension keeps them in check.
