LocalCDN

Protects you against tracking through CDNs (Content Delivery Networks) by redirecting to local resources.

LocalCDN: Web Browser Extension for Privacy

LocalCDN is a web browser extension that emulates Content Delivery Networks to improve your online privacy. It intercepts traffic, finds supported resources locally, and injects them into the environment automatically. It includes a collection of frameworks and useful functions, and offers protection from various CDN resources. Donations are possible, and the extension does not create external connections by itself.
