If you encounter any CORS errors, we recommend using Mozilla Firefox and disabling CORS. CORS errors might occur when accessing certain resources due to security restrictions enforced by the browser.
To disable strict origin policy
in Firefox, type
about:config in the
address bar. Search for
security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy
and set it to
false. This
adjustment can help when working
with local files and testing
across different origins.
To disable mixed content
warnings in Firefox, enter
about:config into
the address bar and search for
security.mixed_content.block_active_content.
Set it to false.
This change allows loading of
mixed active content, which can
help during development and
testing.
Unfortunately, we can't disable these security features in Chrome or Safari using similar methods. In these cases, it's necessary to use other approaches to resolve the issue, such as ensuring all resources are served over HTTPS or using a development proxy that handles HTTPS.
