localCDN has more resources than Decentraleyes. It also has very important resources like Google Fonts, some cloudflare resources etc, none of which were present in Decentraleyes (the last time I checked)

It's your choice. The fork is better. The maintainer seems a bit more active (more updates) and extremely pro-privacy (I concluded this from his home page and extension settings)

I was thinking about switching from decentraleyes too, but I'm hesitant to install a "can access all sites" extension that hasn't been vetted ("recommended") by Mozilla.

LocalCDN is the most offline extension I have seen.

It even opens donation pages locally, instead of opening the author's website. He says ''I think it is better if your public IP address is rarely listed in any server log files.''

localCDN looks super interesting. It works with Chrome partially and fully with Firefox. I'm curious, is there any good native tool to replace localCDN, uBlock, uMatrix ( resources concern ). Btw, thanks for pointing out localCDN

I don't know any replacements, but localCDN can generate rulesets for uBlock Origin and uMatrix if you have configured it too hard (had mode,etc)

You must enable the rulesets. It's very easy and a one time job. To generate them, go to LocalCDN settings and select your adblocker.
