Features & Capabilities

Decentraleyes is a powerful Chrome extension designed to enhance your online privacy by intercepting and locally serving web content that would otherwise be loaded from large, centralized third-party networks like Google Hosted Libraries. This prevents unnecessary tracking and protects your data without breaking the websites you visit.

The extension works seamlessly out of the box, requiring no prior configuration, and complements popular content blockers such as uBlock Origin or Adblock Plus. By delivering bundled files locally, Decentraleyes speeds up your browsing experience while safeguarding you from invasive tracking methods associated with free content delivery services. Regular updates and community support ensure the extension remains effective and reliable. For testing and support, comprehensive online resources and direct contact options are available.

User Reviews

Users largely praise Decentraleyes for boosting privacy (local CDN files), keeping sites working, and complementing blockers like uBlock. However, several reviewers report it failing to intercept requests or show activity, and some suspect compatibility issues with recent Firefox versions.

Pros

Improves privacy by serving local copies of common CDN resources, reducing tracking.
Preserves website functionality—users report pages still work and no breakage.
Works well alongside and complements other blockers (e.g., uBlock).

Cons

Multiple users report it fails to intercept CDN requests or appears not to work in some setups.
Users report difficulty verifying operation (counters stuck, no logs), suggesting compatibility issues with certain Firefox versions or configurations.

Is Decentraleyes Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Decentraleyes requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Decentraleyes has earned a good reputation and can be trusted.
