* If you believe you found a bug with how `fetch` behaves in Chrome or Firefox,
please **avoid opening an issue in this repository**. This project is a
please **don't open an issue in this repository**. This project is a
_polyfill_, and since Chrome and Firefox both implement the `window.fetch`
function natively, no code from this project actually takes any effect in
these browsers. See [Browser support](#browser-support) for detailed
information.

* If you have trouble **making a request to another domain** (a different
subdomain or port number also constitutes as another domain), please
familiarize yourself with all the intricacies and limitations of [CORS][]
requests. Because CORS requires participation of the server by implementing
specific HTTP response headers, it is often nontrivial to set up or debug.
CORS is exclusively handled by the browser's internal mechanisms which this
polyfill cannot influence.

through `fetch` requests, please ensure that you've read and understood the

unless you ask it to.

because this project is meant for web browsers only. You should ensure that your
application doesn't try to package and run this on the server.

* If you have an idea for a new feature of `fetch`, please understand that we
are only ever going to add features and APIs that are a part of the
[Fetch specification][]. You should **submit your feature requests** to the
[repository of the specification](https://github.com/whatwg/fetch/issues)
itself, rather than this repository.
