LocalCDN Extension

NOTE: This is the UNOFFICIAL publication of the Extension.
For more informations please checkout: https://gitlab.com/nobody42/localcdn/-/issues/2


LocalCDN is a web browser extension that emulates Content Delivery Networks to improve your online privacy. It intercepts traffic, finds supported resources locally, and injects them into the environment. All of this happens automatically, so no prior configuration is required.

Differences between LocalCDN and Decentraleyes
=========================================
LocalCDN contains a big collection of frameworks and useful functions.

- New: Sync extension settings with Firefox Sync or own server
- Includes many of the commonly used frameworks like Vue, Bootstrap, and many more!
- Includes Font Awesome in different version (v3.x, v4.x, v5.x)
- Prepared rules for uBlock Origin/uMatrix/AdGuard and notifications if rule changes are necessary
- Removes integrity/crossorigin attributes to replace more frameworks

Adds protection from
=========================================
- Font Awesome (3.x, 4.x, 5.x)
- jQuery up to 3.5.1
- Bootstrap CSS (Delivered by StackPath, NetDNA and MaxCDN)
- Bootstrap JavaScript (Delivered by StackPath, NetDNA and MaxCDN)
- AngularJS, AngularJS-Animate, AngularJS-Sanitize, AngularJS-Cookies and AngularJS-Touch
- ...and more (100 different frameworks in various versions in total!)

Would you like to see other CDN or versions (e.g. jQuery or Bootstrap) integrated? Feel free to open an issue or pull request.

Donations are possible. The possibilities for donations can be displayed in the extension. (Reduces traffic and prevents your IP from being listed in the server logs. Therefore a small offline help page is also integrated.)

For clarification: This extension doesn't create an external connection by itself. LocalCDN contains these frameworks/libraries in add-on storage. This is the reason why the size of LocalCDN is 10 MB. There is also a donation page and a short FAQ page inside the extension. There are only external connections in the form of hyperlinks that the user must actively click on. This includes, for example, the test page or the translation platform \"Weblate\". All links are marked.
