News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

What I want: I want a browser without security restrictions, that can run node.js code as well as not CORS restricted fetch.

Wanted to code my own via electron, but damn, it was slow.

Because you want to get hacked?

Seriously. Without cors, js on any site you visit can make requests as you to anywhere. The only thing protecting you would be security through obscurity.

I also want this, but only to run my own apps which I build for my private use. If you don't assume the user is incompetent, you could build a secure browser that provides permission prompts to opt out of cors.

It should be safer if it doesn't send cookies, but you can still get in trouble for "hacking" because you visited a website that contained code that sent "hacking" requests to another website.

Not really. There is still same-origin-policy and CSRF tokens.

You can run chromium/chrome with many security features (eg cors) disabled. If that helps whatever security hell you wanna swim in...
