What does this thing do exactly ? Their web site uses the word CDN to explain what a CDN is.
I also have a hard time figuring out what the benefit is.

A Content Delivery Network is used to deliver content from a server close to to you (reducing network time). So you might visit a website in Australia while you are living in say south of Denmark. The CDN could choose a server in Hamburg to deliver the content of that Australian website because that Australian content is mirrored on all servers of that CDN.

I understand that this extension intercepts the CDN request in Denmark and tries to find that content locally (meaning in Australia), increasing the load time of teh content.

CDN is content delivery network. Most websties use 3rd party CDNs to deliver parts of their content, like fonts, etc. but CDNs are also used for tracking purposes. Some CDNs are tracking only. LocalCDN replaces many of them (more so on Firefox) with locally stored content instead or else simply blocks the CDN.

In case you use or are curious about LocalCD, it's still updated regularly. It works best on Firefox and eventuallu will become unavailable on the Chrome Web Store with the phaseout of MV2.

Most recent release is v2.6.73.

**** Also note that LocalCDN support in Chrome will end with complete phaseout of MV2. ****
In June 2024 Google will drop MV2 support in pre-release versions of Chrome, which means that LocalCDN will also drop MV2 support at the same time and will then only be available for Firefox.
Mozilla will also support webRequest/webRequestBlocking with MV3, so it is currently not a high priority. Initially I thought that Fenix support would only be possible with MV3 and started the migration to MV3. Since the situation is different now, the migration of LocalCDN to MV3 has no high priority.
