No more CORS error by appending 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *' header to local and remote web requests when enabled

CORS Unblock - Eliminate CORS Errors in Firefox
"CORS Unblock" is a Firefox extension offering control over XMLHttpRequest and fetch methods. It appends custom 'access-control-allow-origin' and 'access-control-allow-methods' headers to every browser request, resolving CORS (Cross Origin Resource Sharing) errors. Its features include toggling on/off from the toolbar, customizing allowed methods, and options to not overwrite server-filled headers. Supports WEBDAV methods.

This extension does what it's supposed to do. Thanks. I don't keep it as I only used it for testing and you're not supposed to solve CORS issues like this.
