When I turn off security entirely in Chrome, it has no effect.
Safari has similar option, it does it.
I would get no CROS error during development of the frontend web app.
I would do it from GUI not from terminal starting with some exotic option. Not like this: Disable same origin policy in Chrome
To solve the issue, you have the following options:
Deploy the app on the same server or domain as the service that you want to call, so that both resources are in the same origin (if possible)
Set the CORS-relevant response headers on the remote system (if possible)
Disable the same-origin policy in the browser for local testing
In Google Chrome, you can easily disable the same-origin policy of Chrome by running Chrome with the following command: [your-path-to-chrome-installation-dir]\chrome.exe --disable-web-security --user-data-dir. Make sure that all instances of Chrome are closed before you run the command. This allows all web sites to break out of the same-origin policy and connect to the remote service directly.

I'm a front-end developer working on an application where the login/ response put a Session-Cookie on the client. The later request will be authorized since the user "logged in".
Starting from Chrome 80
All cookies without a SameSite attribute will be treated as if they had SameSite=Lax specified. In other words, they will be restricted to first-party only (server and client on the same domain).
If you need third-party cookies (server and client on different domains), then they must be marked with SameSite=None.
Restricted to first-party by default
Set-Cookie: cname=cvalue; SameSite=Lax
Allowed in third-party contexts
Set-Cookie: cname=cvalue; SameSite=None; Secure
For my application, I want the default behavior. My client and server running on the same domain in production. But in development I'm working from localhost (different domain).
Up until now, chrome had special flag under chrome://flags - SameSite by default cookies. I could Enable this flag on my development machine and the login passed. And in production, I didn't need this flag because I wanted the default behavior.
Starting from Chrome 91
The SameSite by default cookies flag was removed. This means that from this version I can't login into my app, without deploying it to production.
Does anybody knows how can I get the Session-Cookie while working from localhost. But still keeping the security of SameSite=Lax. If possible with client only changes, but if needed also with server changes.
Chrome DevTools - SameSite error message
Chrome 80 Flags menu - These flags removed in Chrome 91
Update
I tried to solve this by making the server use SameSite=None (development only).
This causes a different error: Connection isn't secure. This is because when using SameSite=None you are required to add the suffix Secure and of curse use HTTPS connection.
Secure connection has its own problems like having to pay for a Certificate in development.
Workaround: Downgrade Chrome
This is not a solution! just a temporary workaround for anybody like me how got his work halted due to this update.
Uninstall Chrome
Go to "Add or remove programs" and uninstall Chrome. Notice that user data like cookies and saved browser passwords may be lost.
Download Chrome v90 from slimjet.com, or from any other site. Then install Chrome.
Prevent auto-update Chrome, according to this StackOverflow solution: open C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Update
rename the file GoogleUpdate.exe to GoogleUpdate2.exe.
This will cause Chrome to not find the update package.
Update Flags - Open Chrome and type: chrome://flags
Search #same-site-by-default-cookies and Disable the flag
I have found a way to fix it and share it with everyone :-)
Description appears in the issues section:
Specify SameSite=None and Secure if the cookie should be sent in
cross-site requests. This enables third-party use.
In the Developer Tools section, go to the Application tab, and on the left side to Cookies:
The cookie that you want to share with other domains, mark the Secure
check and in Samesite put None. Update the site tab locally and you
will be able to use the cookies that allow you to send through the
domain of origin
I hope this brightens your day
As of Chrome v107 (Nov 2022)
I had a similar issue, spent a few hours digging, and what I found is that the only solution for Chrome is to make your front-end connection secure, ie https (using a proxy for instance): Link
An alternative solution is to use Firefox and set: about:config > network.cookie.sameSite.noneRequiresSecure=false. This allows SameSite=None; Secure=false
In our case, we are able to also run our server locally on a different port and point our client app to that localhost address for development purposes.
For example, I have the client app running on localhost:1234 and sending requests to a local copy of the server running on localhost:5678. This ensures that cookies are set successfully since the client and server are now "SameSite".
Admittedly, this is perhaps more of a workaround than a solution, but I hope it helps in the short term.
If you want to perform "unsafe" CORS requests (which means performing a POST/PUT/DELETE request) you will need to modify the tomcat conf/context.xml file, to set sameSiteCookies to "none" instead of "lax".
...
<!-- default samesite cookies configuration, for CORS set sameSiteCookies to "none" and configure bundle for HTTPS -->
<CookieProcessor sameSiteCookies="none" />
...
You can set the SameSite attribute manually to "None" + tick "Secure" inside the devtools for development.
That way you would not have to modify your production environment (keep the cookies as SameSite=Lax).
I can't intercept requests made by Chrome version 73.0.3683.86 to my localhost site.
Local host site is running on IIS on http://127.0.0.3:80
Burp proxy lister is default one on 127.0.0.1:8080
Interception rules are default one as well
In my LAN settings, "Bypass proxy server for local addresses" is not enabled
When Interception is turned ON and I reload page in Chrome browser, no request is "caught" by Burp, my local site loads and only the external requests are intercepted, such as loading external scripts from CDN.
Also under "Proxy" > "HTTP History" there is only request to external sites, and all requests to http://127.0.0.3:80 are not recorded.
When I reload same page by Internet Explorer 11, initial GET request is intercepted by Burp, as expected. Also "Proxy" > "HTTP History" shows all the requests to local site http://127.0.0.3:80
What is the problem with the Chrome? Thanks!
Found the solution late yesterday. I am using the Chrome extension ProxySwitchy, but it doesn't matter if you use that or the system proxy configuration. The solution works the same way.
You can solve this problem by adding an entry in /etc/hosts file like below
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 somehostname
Now burp will intercept request from somehostname
Which version of Chrome are you using?
Have you tried using the FoxyProxy Chrome extension?
As a workaround, you could modify the hosts file on your machine.
I experienced the same issue when I upgraded from Opera 58.0 to 60.0. I think that this is Chrome related, because I've also experienced it in all other Chrome browsers. Opera 58 utilizes Chrome 71.0.3578.98. Opera 60 utilizes version Chrome 73.0.3683.103. Something was definitely updated in Chrome between these versions to cause this problem to happen.
You have to subtract the implicit bypass rules defined in Chrome (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/net/docs/proxy.md#Implicit-bypass-rules)
Requests to certain hosts will not be sent through a proxy, and will
instead be sent directly.
We call these the implicit bypass rules. The implicit bypass rules
match URLs whose host portion is either a localhost name or a
link-local IP literal. Essentially it matches:
localhost
*.localhost [::1]
127.0.0.1/8
169.254/16
[FE80::]/10
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/net/docs/proxy.md#Bypass-rule_Subtract-implicit-rules
Whereas regular bypass rules instruct the browser about URLs that
should not use the proxy, Subtract Implicit Rules has the opposite
effect and tells the browser to instead use the proxy.
In order to be able to proxy through the loopback interface, you have to add the entry
<-loopback>
in the list of hosts for which you don't want to a proxy. It is a bit confusing, indeed.
Make sure you haven't enabled socks proxy option, it happened with me too and i found the solution when i disabled the socks proxy option, just make sure it's disabled!

Cannot work with firebase projects locally (I guess after Chrome auto-update). I guess it's not firebase related but Google services in general.
I get CORS error despite the fact I don't use it. CORS extension is disabled.
Error: https://securetoken.googleapis.com/v1/token?key=AIzaSyB2rVH5oURUwciXasOeGlTNW7Lye6naCn0: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: The 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header has a value 'https://localhost:3000' that is not equal to the supplied origin. Origin 'http://localhost:3000' is therefore not allowed access.
I have tested Safari and it works, so the issue is Chrome related
I'm not an expert on this topic, but as far as I understand Chrome restricted http stuff even more.
I couldn't use https://localhost:3000 as there was no https server
I run webpack server for my js code and I've found solution to set HTTPS=true environment variable and it will enable the https option in webpack dev server.
Chrome doesn't respect such SSL certificate, but if you click Advanced -> Proceed then everything works and I don't get CORS issue any longer.
It may be a better option to generate some SSL certificate that Chrome respects so that you don't have to click Advanced -> Proceed every time, but I'm good with this for now as I can continue working on my projects.
We are looking for a way to have Chrome bypass the HSTS requirements for our dev environment.
We are working on a project for https://foo.com.
Within our organizations internal dns we have DNS entries for foo.com.dev which points to our internal dev server which has historically allowed us to reach our dev server via https://foo.com.dev. Secure web requests to this site have always been met with a security warning that we have been able to bypass but in a recent build of Chrome it seems that the ability to bypass the warning has been removed. We can continue to use this method in IE but would like to be able to test Chrome as well.
Additionally, developers have been able to use there own machine names as suffixes. For example a https://foo.com.workstation10
Any suggestions would be very welcome because the prospect of reconfiguring our entire dev environment is not a pleasant one.
To be clear - access to these sites are entirely limited to internal users by both firewall setup and dns configuration.
You can try one of the following options:
Send the Strict-Transport-Security header only for foo.com, and do not specify includeSubDomains.
Make self-signed certificates for foo.com.dev on server and import in on your local device's chrome.
If your target domain is restricted only for internal purpose, you can bypass it just typing badidea in the chrome window. Further details are available here
For more details about HSTS refer HSTS RFC
I'm developing a web application. During development, I want my locally hosted application can send xmlhttprequest to another domain.
I googled around, a lot of materials say to allow cors on chrome, I need to use the --disable-web-security option. Any server needs to implement the response header: Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *.
Does it mean even if a server has implemented cors, normal chrome user still won't be able to send cross origin request because the --disable-web-security is not enabled?
If that's the case, then what's the point for server to implement cors? normal user they won't know and turn on --disable-web-security option.
After did some testing, I have got my answer.
Most of the online materials or blogs are not clear about this point, you can send cross origin request by:
either has the server implement cors, i.e. the response header needs to have Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
or you --disable-web-security your chrome browser for convenience
So you only need to have one of above for cross origin request to work. It's NOT necessary to both ensure the server implemented cors and disable web security of your web browser.
