Decentraleyes – Local CDN Emulation

Does this addon have any security implications when used in combination with uBlock or NoScript? If the JS is being injected, does that induce any risks of JS being executed when it should be blocked?

Blocking a resource has precedence over redirecting a resource. If your blocker blocks a resource, Decentraleyes or any other extension won't be able to redirect it.

I think it intercepts the requests to load from CDN and then loads it locally. The instructions for the extension tell you to whitelist the CDNs in uBlock/uMatrix. If you are blocking them then they won't load from Decentralyze either.

I’m pretty sure it works with ublock origin and umatrix. If the JS is blocked it won’t run. Not sure about NoScript though.
