    Oh, you are almost right, I was wrong. Checking the network traffic it seems images (and some parts of posts?) are fetched directly, but other elements are fetched through wefwef.app, namely everything that needs the users session. maybe this is done to process some lemmy outputs serverside into for example the notification icon? This surprised me, I was confident the only requests to wefwef.app would be static elements and the code itself.

        This is about cors headers on the api calls? That only don’t affect other apps because they are offline and ignore cors?

            Makes sense, never thought about that. An annoying situation, I wonder how many security issues would crop up if browsers allowed ignoring cors for pwas…

            Currently apicalls are proxied through the server but end up with the lient all the same, with the session being stored in local storage “credentials”?
            Will you currate a manual whitelist for direct calls or have the app test if direct fails and fall back to proxied?

              Why not add a new tier to pwas. You need to only use cookies scoped to your own domain, you get a new container without any existing session cookies etc. for other websites, but cors is dropped.
              That should prevent carelessly putting auth tokens into cookies and should replace cors in that sensitive sessions are containered away and all existing data for other websites that where slopily created somehow are isolated.

              After all for the way wefwef works for example I see no benefit to cors

        Hey is it dynamic or you have to add a list of instances to direct connect?

        Update: sorry, just saw your answer below 🤷‍♂️
