Disabling same-origin policy in Safari

Question

For development purposes, I need to disable the same-origin policy in Safari (on Windows) on my machine.

In Chrome, this can be done by launching with the flag

Answer 1

goto,

Safari -> Preferences -> Advanced

then at the bottom tick Show Develop Menu in menu bar

then in the Develop Menu tick Disable Cross-Origin Restrictions

Answer 2

Unfortunately, there is no equivalent for Safari and the argument --disable-web-security doesn't work with Safari.

If you have access to the server side application, you can modify the https response headers to allow access. Mainly the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header. Modifying it will allow Safari to access the resource. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Access_control_CORS#Access-Control-Allow-Origin for more information on the response headers that will help.

Answer 3

If you want to disable the same-origin policy on Safari (I have 9.1.1), then you only need to enable the developer menu, and select "Disable Cross-Origin Restrictions" from the develop menu.

Answer 4

Later versions of Safari allow you to Disable Cross-Origin Restrictions. Just enable the developer menu from Preferences >> Advanced, and select "Disable Cross-Origin Restrictions" from the develop menu.

If you want local only, then you only need to enable the developer menu, and select "Disable local file restrictions" from the develop menu.

Answer 5

There is an option to disable cross-origin restrictions in Safari 9, different from local file restrictions as mentioned above.
