I have always loved requestpolicy but for some reason something about RPContinued makes me nervous. Policeman would be a great alternative if Sync worked[^1]. I cant use policeman if it means I have to jump through the same hoops on every firefox installation in order to get things set up.

- hrjet 12y agoThanks to @JetSpiegel I just became aware of Policeman. And I am not sure why you are nervous about RPContinued. So, I went ahead and created a wiki for this: https://github.com/UprootLabs/gngr/wiki/List-of-request-blocking-software https://github.com/UprootLabs/gngr/wiki/List-of-request-bloc... If there are any known issues with RPContinued or there are other extensions that are not listed, please feel free to add them. Thanks.
- dfc 12y agoWhat is the mysterious "switchboard" column?
- MichaelCrawford 12y agoThat's used by the phone company to patch you into the NSA.
- hrjet 12y agoThe name for the concept comes from the name of the HTTP-SwitchBoard extension (predecessor to uMatrix). It's skeuomorphic. The extensions which have a switchboard like interface enable the user to block requests based on the request's domain name, the primary frame's domain-name, and also the type of request. In contrast, extensions like NoScript have a global switch. If I allow scripts from DontBeEvil.com, they are enabled on all domains. They don't prevent XSS attacks, for example. If there's a better name for this concept, please do suggest one.
