  Description     : web extension for local emulation of Content Delivery Networks

> Websites have increasingly begun to rely much more on large
> third-parties for content delivery. Canceling requests for ads or
> trackers is usually without issue, however blocking actual content, not
> unexpectedly, breaks pages. The aim of this add-on is to cut-out the
> middleman by providing lightning speed delivery of local (bundled) files
> to improve online privacy.

I've been using this web extension on Firefox for a long while,
alongside webext-ublock-origin package from Debian to improve my privacy
experience while browsing.

Potential packagers, please note: It may be desirable to integrate this
web extension with libjs-* packages (/usr/share/javascript/*), where
supported.
