Firefox@lemmy.world: Caching frequently downloaded / used page assets?
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.

I made an extension called "Cache Longer" which forces static assets to be cached for 6 months, regardless of what the website wants. If any website starts looking janky or stops working, just do a hard refresh (very rarely needed).

This was last updated 3 years ago, does it still work fine? Maybe add a note saying that it works as of 2024? I also see an issue opened a year ago that's unanswered.
Yes, I've been using it continuously since then.
