Decentraleyes: Enhanced Privacy Through Local Content Delivery

"Decentraleyes" is a privacy-enhancing Chrome extension that serves local files to negate requests reaching networks such as Google Hosted Libraries. This circumvents the issue of websites breaking when blocking content from large third-parties, enhancing your online privacy. Decentraleyes complements traditional blockers and requires no prior configuration to work. Note that while it successfully prevents many tracking requests, it's not a comprehensive solution.
