Okay, that's another article about CORS on the internet.

CORS errors are definitely one of the most frustrating errors we face when working on web applications. I don't know what HTTP wizard or how expert you are, but I am sure that you definitely react like Michael Scott here:

If you use any applications that handle sensitive information, you might already have a situation where you get a countdown before you get logged off, this happens if you don’t interact with the website after a certain (short) period.

Streaming platforms also ask you if you are still watching before they stop the video or navigate to the next episode.
