Yes, indeed. Sort of defeats the point of Postwoman being more performant..

Still, this seems safer than the various extensions that have been recommended in order to disable the SOP. I'd rather the user's data wasn't on the line.

Right, so I don't see any reason why I would ever want to use this tool when far superior alternatives (like postman) exist.
