Hey everyone! I'd like to share CORS Unblock, a Chrome extension that lets web applications make cross-origin requests directly - just like native apps do.
*Why This Matters:* - No need for a backend proxy server - No server costs - No complex CORS configurations - Your web app can directly access APIs like a native app would
*How It Works:* 1. Install the extension from the [Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/odkadbffomicljkjfep...) 2. When your web app needs to access external APIs, it will request permission 3. You approve which domains the app can access 4. That's it! The app can now make cross-origin requests
*Security & Privacy:* - You control which websites can access which domains - All operations happen locally in your browser - No data collection - Permissions can be revoked anytime
