No more CORS error by appending 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *' header to local and remote web requests when enabled
CORS Unblock Extension
The default values for the headers:
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: request initiator or empty
Access-Control-Allow-Methods\": GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS, PATCH, PROPFIND, PROPPATCH, MKCOL, COPY, MOVE, LOCK
Access-Control-Allow-Methods: request initiator or empty
Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true
Access-Control-Expose-Headers: request initiator or *
Additional Features:
1. It can remove the following CSP-related headers:
\"Content-Security-Policy\", \"Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only\", \"X-WebKit-CSP\" and \"X-Content-Security-Policy\".
2. It can overwrite the returned 4xx status code from the server. Use this feature when a server does not support a method, but you want to pretend it does.
3. It can append necessary headers to pretend websites (local or remote hosts) support SharedArrayBuffer class.
4. It can permit cross-origin frame embedding (by removing the \"X-Frame-Options\" header) to simplify remote page embedding during local development.
5. It can include or exclude the \"referer\" and \"origin\" headers when a server is sensitive to them to work appropriately.
6. The extension optionally uses the \"chrome.debugger\" to overwrite 4xx status codes (in case a server does not support a method, you can use this feature to pretend the server accepts a response or supports an unsupported method).
7. The extension also optionally fixes CORS policies of redirected URLs.

It is important to note that this extension fixes preflight requests to permit access to any custom header (when enabled).
