I read the descriptions for the Dcentraleyes and LocalCDN addons which cache popular JS frameworks and page assets to enhance privacy and speed up pages that use them (since the assets were downloaded beforehand). Does Firefox have any built-in functionality to cache frequently used assets, or are there any addons that do so?
For instance, If I access Reddit.com a lot, I would want all the resources that all those Reddit pages have in common to be cached automatically to make loading pages from the domain faster.
Yep, every browser has a browser cache, I believe in Firefox it’s set to 1GB by default? It will cache assets like JS or images on the same domain name.
Firefox changes the capacity dynamically, I set browser.cache.disk.capacity to false in about:config and browser.cache.disk.capacity to 1024000 (the storage amount in MBs)
Gotcha, mine always seems to be 1GB of space usage on all my PCs so I figured that was just the default.
