Decentraleyes

Top 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. See More
