HTTP Switchboard as RequestPolicy

You can configure HTTP Switchboard in such a way as to make it behaves close to how RequestPolicy for Firefox works.

Here is how the matrix would look like:

HTTPSB as RequestPolicy

In the above setup, all the request types are graylisted by default, and "Auto-whitelist page domain" is enabled.

I created a backup file which can be restored (from the About tab) in order to make HTTPSB behave close to how RequestPolicy works:

Remember: Restoring data from a full backup file will overwrite all your settings!
