You define a set of \"policies\" that restrict what APIs the site's code can access or modify the browser's default behavior for certain features. Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) : Cross-site HTTP requests are requests for resources from a different domain than that of the resource making the request. Web pages today very commonly load cross-site resources, for example, a page 'Domain A' ( requests an image on 'Domain B' ( via the img element. CORS allows web developers to control how their site reacts to cross-site requests. Content Security Policy (CSP) : CSP allows website administrators to use the {{HTTPHeader(\"Content-Security-Policy\")}} response header to control which resources the client is allowed to load for a given page. The CSP guide describes the overall Content Security Policy mechanism which helps detect and mitigate certain types of attacks, including Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and data injection attacks. Cross-Origin Resource Policy (CORP) : CORP lets websites and applications opt in to protection against specific requests from other origins (such as those issued with elements like and ), to mitigate speculative side-channel attacks.
