Protects you against tracking through "free", centralised, content delivery.
It prevents a lot of requests from reaching networks like Google Hosted Libraries, and serves local files to keep sites from breaking.
Complements regular content blockers.
Websites have increasingly begun to rely much more on large third-parties for content delivery. Cancelling requests for ads or trackers is usually without issue, however blocking actual content, not unexpectedly, breaks pages. The aim of this add-on is to cut out the middleman by providing lightning speed delivery of local (bundled) files to improve online privacy.
• Protects privacy by evading large delivery networks that claim to offer free services.
• Complements regular blockers such as uBlock Origin (recommended), Adblock Plus, et al.
• Works directly out of the box; absolutely no prior configuration required.
Note: Decentraleyes is no silver bullet, but it does prevent a lot of websites from making you send these kinds of requests. Ultimately, you can make Decentraleyes block requests for any missing CDN resources, too.

Pros
Pro Intercepts traffic, finds supported resources locally, and injects them into the environment
This supports other privacy extensions and behavioural usage of the browser to minimize data snooping by bad actors.
The tracking this extension prevents by high degree of resources is impressive.
Without this extension outside sources will be hailed to 'bring' the resources for whatever website your own from an external source, which can log you when you make use of these services.
