What is LocalCDN?

'LocalCDN' is a browser extension that offers enhanced online privacy. It emulates Content Delivery Networks (CDN) to prevent tracking, by intercepting traffic, finding supported resources, and injecting them locally. No configuration is needed for this automatic protection. The extension includes a rich library of frameworks, manages synchronization with Firefox Sync or a designated server and provides useful notifications for rule changes. This extension is purely local, with no external connections initiated by itself, maintaining user privacy at a maximum.
