Full summary

GIPHY's search engine at your fingertips. Search for the coolest GIFs and Stickers, and then drag and drop to your target.

  • Drag and drop support depends on the website you are dropping on, they may correctly display the GIF, or they may insert a link.

  • If dragging outside the browser, first "click" on a GIF to see the large view and then drag the high res image. In the browser, dragging the small images is okay, it will still insert the large image, but outside the browser you'll need to drag the large image as what is dropped is beyond our control.

Using Gmail? We have an extension for that as well! Search for "GIPHY for Gmail".

ForceCORS is a Google Chrome extension which allows you to selectively apply CORS Headers to any web server responses you choose. This is extremely helpful when developing a web application that makes Ajax/XHR requests.

The extension requires you to specify the domains that you wish to monitor and allows you to explicitly define the headers to be added. This is preferable to completely disabling XHR security in your browser, which is a big security hole.

Regarding Permissions In order to allow you to append headers to ANY arbitrary location, this extension requires access to intercept ANY web request. However, by default the extension does NOT monitor any web traffic. Only URLs you specifically whitelist will be read by the extension, and only headers that YOU specify will be appended.

Note: Headers added by this extension will not appear in the DevTools "Network" panel due to a known Chrome bug: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=258064
