Well, Decentraleyes is made for Libraries delivered via CDNs, not single pages. What's the reason for you wanting to deliver those scripts locally?

there are many websites which use this pattern. so it will speed up web browsing and save bandwidth for data cap users

I understand. Just note that Decentraleyes focuses on privacy rather than saving bandwidth, so solving this issue will most likely have lower priority.

What if said javascript is used to record mouse movements? this site loads this. I block */mousetrap/mousetrap.min.js?ver=1.4.6 in uBlock and nothing changes to the site's functionality as far as I can tell.

My last comment was slightly inaccurate: Decentraleyes focuses on privacy for scripts loaded from CDNs (e.g. ajax.googleapis.com, cdnjs.cloudflare.com, etc) by loading them locally instead of from the CDN.

While your use-case is a valid privacy concern, it's not the kind of issue Decentraleyes deals with (not connecting to 3rd parties for scripts), rather one that uBO deals with (blocking elements that infringe your privacy).

Hope I have explained it somehow understandable.
