Decentraleyes

Protects you against tracking through "free", centralized, content delivery.

Decentraleyes is a powerful Chrome extension designed to protect your online privacy by blocking tracking through "free" centralized content delivery networks. Instead of allowing websites to fetch resources from large third-party networks like Google Hosted Libraries, Decentraleyes serves local bundled files, significantly reducing the number of tracking requests and improving page loading speeds.

This extension works seamlessly alongside popular content blockers such as uBlock Origin and Adblock Plus, requiring no configuration out of the box. While it doesn't guarantee complete anonymity, Decentraleyes ensures a strong privacy layer by cutting out the middleman in content delivery and preventing unwanted tracking without breaking website functionality.

Bien mais la gestion des sites fiables personnalisée est difficile et il se base encore sur angularjs 1.6.5 (date de juillet 2017). Comme Decentraleyes et uBlock Origin sont complémentaires, je propose une option de fusionner leur liste dURL fiables.
