Short description
Allows forcing Cross-Origin Resource Sharing headers on any desired URL; helpful when accessing remote services from a local host. Revert Site lets you get the old Facebook site design back (for Biz/Fan Pages only)
Full summary

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

This extension is open source under the MIT License and can be found on GitHub: https://github.com/chrisdeely/ForceCORS

Revert Site lets you get the old Facebook design / layout back (for Biz/Fan Pages and a few other pages too).

Revert Site is very quick to install, and very easy to use, it just has a single option, that is turned on by default, so you can just install it and not have to configure anything. However if you wish to temporarily disable Revert Site, you can easily do so by clicking the extension icon, in the browser's extensions toolbar, then un-ticking the "Switch back to the old Facebook design" checkbox. To turn it back on, just re-tick the checkbox.

If you can't find the Revert Site (R) button in your extension's toolbar, it may be hidden behind the "Jigsaw puzzle piece" button, so click that and see if its behind there.

**** PLEASE NOTE ****

Revert Site can only revert Business / Fan Pages, and a few other pages. It can't revert the Newsfeed, Personal Profiles, Events or Group pages.

If you find there are any parts of the site that won't work with the Revert option turned on, switch it off while you carry out your tasks, then turn it back on when you have finished to go back to the old site again.
