Replace Google CDN with USTC CDN.

Install Compare

The Replace Google CDN Chrome extension substitutes Google CDN URLs with the University of Science and Technology of China's (USTC) CDN addresses for websites using Google CDN APIs. This helps accelerate website loading and access, particularly for users in China, by directing requests through USTC's faster domestic network. For example, it replaces ajax.googleapis.com with USTC's CDN to speed up sites like StackOverflow.

This extension is especially useful for developers or users frequently accessing sites reliant on Google CDN resources and seeking improved loading times within regions where Google's CDN is slower or restricted. Originally developed by the author at justjavac, this tool seamlessly ensures a better browsing experience through smart CDN URL replacements.

Extension safety

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.

Replace Google CDN requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

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 Browser Add-ons, 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.
