To be fair, there are many web devs who have never needed to worry about cross origin resource sharing
2 comments

Usually the same ones who then download plugins like

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/access-contro...

because properly configuring the backend is ¨too complicated¨.

Been there, done that.

You can use the origin announce headers from Firefox to block cors also, unsure if that works with chrome.

But I was referring to legacy code (or those whose SPA is stored on the same domain as API endpoints).

How do you become one of those kind instead of smashing your face against CORS constantly
i think the purpose of cors is to slowly make web devs go insane. but yeah, more coors less cors
Legacy developers would be the biggest group.
