Not sure about safari, but Chrome has a command line switch for this:

chrome.exe --disable-web-security

You can view a full list (as of when it was posted!) of command line options for chrome here.

Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure, these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die, is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked, there is no reason not to follow your heart. -- Steve Jobs

Firefox and Internet Explorer both have settings where a user may enable forbidden cross-domain calls.

Is there a similar setting or option in Safari and/or Chrome?

This is one of my biggest complaints about the webkit browsers - the 'all or nothing' security preferences. Is it that hard to write 'disable-web-security-for-trusted-domains'?

if you need authentication you would also need to use this parameter: --allow-cross-origin-auth-prompt otherwise it will fail as if web security is still enabled
