HTTP Switchboard is a security and privacy application that helps users protect themselves from malicious websites, trackers, and scripts by blocking requests and allowing only trusted sites to connect. It can be used as a browser extension or as a standalone application. HTTP Switchboard works by inspecting the requests a web page makes, and allows the user to decide which requests to block and which to allow. It can be used to block third-party trackers, advertising networks, and malicious scripts. It also allows the user to customize their settings, allowing them to block specific types of requests or all requests from specific domains. HTTP Switchboard also provides a visual representation of the requests that are being blocked, allowing the user to quickly identify potentially malicious requests.
Discontinued The extension is no longer maintained and does not work in Firefox 55 or newer. It still works in XUL-based Firefox forks such as https://alternativeapp.info/software/waterfox/ and https://alternativeapp.info/software/palemoon/.
