The Cacao CORS Proxy Browser Extension intercepts the Fetch API for whitelisted URLs.

Find it on GitHub (http://github.com/michaelfig/cacao-extension)

The main application of Cacao is to allow Javascript running in a web browser to access cross-origin images (plain, or streams such as MJPEG) without failing due to Cross-Origin restrictions.

This is useful for applications such as WebRTC, which may need to process images from neither localhost nor the script's default origin.

Safety

Risk impact

Cacao CORS Proxy is risky to use as it requires a number of sensitive permissions that can potentially harm your browser and steal your data. Exercise caution when installing this extension. Review carefully before installing. We recommend that you only install Cacao CORS Proxy if you trust the publisher.
