LocalCDN is an extension I would recommend, both for privacy and performance reasons.

Decentraleyes is what I use. I assume they're similar https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/decentraleyes...

LocalCDN is an updated fork of Decentraleyes.

Decentraleyes hasn't been updated in ages, has few assets and its assets are massively out of date.

My Decentraleyes was updated in November 5th, that's not that long ago. LocalCDN extension has also a comment that Mozilla doesn't regularly monitor it for security.

LocalCDN is much, much more actively developed than Decentraleyes.

https://codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN/commits/branch/main vs https://git.synz.io/Synzvato/decentraleyes/-/commits/v2.0.15

I'd imagine if LocalCDN got more popular than Decentraleyes, it would probably get Mozilla's seal of approval as a "recommended" extension. Then again I'm not entirely sure what their approval process for that looks like. Currently Decentraleyes has about 100x the userbase.
