> The default Ripple option is to use a remote proxy, so all calls go through e.g. https://rippleapi.herokuapp.com/xhr_proxy?tinyhippos_apikey=ABC&tinyhippos_rurl=https%3A//login.somehost.net/common/oauth2/token.
> This is a terrible option because the information that user is sending may be extremely security sensitive.
> You can set the proxy to be local, but you’d need to specify that every time you launch Chrome.
> Using local proxy is more common practice, and maybe it should be used by default?
