Chrome 49 plus --disable-web-security
<p>Today (Mar, 15, 2016) chrome stopped working with the --disable-web-security flag. I have tried the following options described in various posts:
1) Kill all instances of Chrome.exe in the windows task manager.
2) add the --use-data-dir flag, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35432749/disable-web-security-in-chrome-48-and-49">there is a current post regarding this, but the answers there do not work anymore</a></p>

<p>Here is my script I am using:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>start chrome.exe --disable-web-security --allow-running-insecure-content  --use-data-dir=c:/temp/chrome_dev</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Chrome opens under this script with the disable security warning but localhost cross domain calls still fail:</p>
