HTTP Switchboard is a Chromium browser extension that lets users point-and-click whitelist or blacklist network requests per domain and request type. It is no longer developed and was superseded by uBlock Origin and uMatrix.
Use cases
- block scripts and iframes per domain
- block ads and facebook trackers in the browser
- whitelist or blacklist requests by type and destination
- control which third-party requests a web page can make
When to choose
- you need a point-and-click per-domain request matrix for a legacy Chromium browser
When to avoid
- you want a maintained extension - use uBlock Origin or uMatrix instead
- you need support for modern browser APIs
