Features & Capabilities

Restfox CORS Helper is a Chrome extension designed to help developers bypass Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) restrictions when making HTTP requests directly from the Restfox web-based HTTP client. Restfox is an in-browser API testing tool similar to Postman and Insomnia that requires no backend or desktop app. With this extension, users can seamlessly test HTTP endpoints without encountering CORS errors, enhancing the efficiency and convenience of API testing workflows.

By integrating with Restfox (https://restfox.dev), the extension allows developers to focus on their API development and debugging without being blocked by browser security policies related to cross-origin requests. This tool is essential for web developers and testers who prefer using browser-based solutions for HTTP testing and need to bypass CORS limitations effortlessly.

Is Restfox CORS Helper Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Restfox CORS Helper requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
