title: What exactly does the parameter --disable-web-security to chrome
body: <p>I need to know what the <code>--disable-web-security</code> parameter does in chrome. I know that it disables <code>same origin policy</code>.</p>
  
  <p>But I also noticed that it messes with your websockets (I first experienced it with googles gmail, now with my own nodeapp)</p>
  
  <p>So what does it do exactly?</p>
  
  <p><strong>edit:</strong>
  with <em>messing</em> I mean that I often fail to connect or lose connections to websocket-webapplications (while my chrome runs with the <code>--disable-web-security</code> parameter ). bear in mind that this is only an empirical diagnosis - I am not perfectly sure whether this parameter corelates with my connection issues.</p>
