i've been using ublock origin for as long as i can remember, religiously on every browser i use and that means, i refuse to use browsers that support it fully.

that said, i recently saw "localcdn" addon for firefox which i've started to use. don't know if it has made any improvement but why the hell not

Had not heard of LocalCDN[0] before. Currently using Decentraleyes[1] on mobile and desktop Firefox as well as recommending to everyone I know. At first glance LocalCDN looks like it could become a replacement for Decentraleyes. Does anyone have experience with both extensions?

Personally I will wait to try LocalCDN until it becomes recommended by Mozilla and installable on mobile Firefox, but it has peaked my interest. Thank you for sharing it 2Gkashmiri.

LocalCDN is an active fork of Decentraleyes. From memory it was forked back in the day to add a Chrome plugin (the original was Firefox only at the time). That’s from memory though, so please do a little research to confirm.

i remember decentraleyes from when it came out but i never bothered with it. dunno why. i was an ABP user at first when that came out but i switched to ublock origin years ago. i was even a noscript user for a long time but being lazy, i stopped.
