An add-on that allows you to filter the cross-site requests With RequestPolicy you can improve the privacy of your browsing and secure yourself from Cross-Site Request Forgeryby by not letting other sites know your browsing habits. Cross-site requests are requests that your browser is told to make by a website you are visiting to a completely different website. Though usually legitimate requests, they often result in advertising companies and other websites knowing your browsing habits, including specific pages you view throughout the day. Among the attacks that cross-site requests are used in, they are particularly dangerous with Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks where your browser is told to make a request to another website and that other website thinks you (the person) meant to make the request. With RequestPolicy, the default for any cross-site request is to deny it. Users are notified when requests on the current page have been blocked (the status bar flag icon at the bottom right of your browser turns red). Clicking on this status bar flag icon gives you a menu where you can view and modify which requests are blocked and allowed. NOTE: The RequestPolicy add-on is cross-platform and it works on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux.
