Allow CORS seems to work in Chromium, but now I've discovered that sometimes blockstream.info gives 403 errors to Tor users. 😒

When I tried to navigate to the docs for blockcypher.com, the first thing I saw was cloudflare judging me for using Tor, so I am not optimistic there either. 🫤

But it seems like it is still worth trying. Maybe the only want to give privacy advocates a hard time for reading the documentation, but not for using their API. 🤷‍♂️

In any case, clearly improving error handling is in order!

Ah, I figured out what's going on here. Blockstream.info omits the CORS header for Tor users... sometimes.

This is most unfortunate. Time to switch providers to someone who is more reliable and privacy friendly.
