"A Hipster History of CORS" by Devdatta Akhawe (Strange Loop 2022)
CORS makes no sense when you first look at it. The only way it does is if you understand the history of how we got here; this talk will go through the history of the web and CORS and how we ended up designing something like this. If you have always been confused by CORS, you will find this talk useful. We will also cover modern cross origin standards (corp, corp, corb, coop, coep, oh my) and how they can help securely design modern web applications.
