-'''HTTP Switchboard''' is a [[Google Chrome|Chromium]] [[browser extension]] (which also works with other [[Google Chrome|Chromium-based]] browsers such as Opera (from version 15) and the [[Yandex browser]]) that allows filtering of [[Hypertext Transfer Protocol ]] (HTTP) requests based on the content and/or the target's [[domain name]]. It comes with an optional, pre-defined blacklist of [[hostname]]s that might be a privacy threat when sending requests to them and/or a security threat/annoyance due to the content delivered in the response. HTTP Switchboard's developer, Raymond Hill, has also developed other browser extensions, including [[ad filtering]] [[uBlock]] which he actively leads as [[uBlock Origin]].<ref>{{cite web|last1=Brinkman|first1=Martin|title=HTTP Switchboard for Chrome gives you full control over all connections|url=http://www.ghacks.net/2013/11/14/http-switchboard-chrome-gives-full-control-connections/|website=ghacks.net|publisher=ghacks.net|accessdate=2015-02-17}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Easily block cookies, images, scripts and more with Chrome's HTTP Switchboard|url=http://betanews.com/2013/11/13/easily-block-cookies-images-scripts-and-more-with-chromes-http-switchboard/|website=betanews.com|publisher=betanews|accessdate=2015-02-17}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=HTTP Switchboard 1.0.1.5|url=http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/downloads/3329521/http-switchboard-054/|website=pcadvisor.co.uk|publisher=PC Advisor|accessdate=2015-02-17}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Raymond Hill|url=https://github.com/gorhill|website=github.com|publisher=GitHub|accessdate=2015-02-17}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=uBlock Origin|url=https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock|website=github.com|publisher=GitHub|accessdate=2016-07-13}}</ref>
-HTTP Switchboard is no longer being actively developed. It has instead been replaced by [[uBlock Origin]] as well as uMatrix<ref>[https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix uMatrix]</ref>, the latter being aimed at more technically savvy users.<ref>{{cite web|title=HTTP Switchboard|url=https://github.com/gorhill/httpswitchboard|website=github.com|publisher=GitHub|accessdate=2017-06-19}}</ref>
