If we accept the need for a sandbox domain, same-origin loads becomes an option I think. And actually, even in the face of an open redirect you could fail flat the moment the target URL becomes cross-origin and not fetch it. Several APIs on the platform have a request mode of same-origin (different from tainted cross-origin, which will fetch) with an opt in availability for CORS. -- http://annevankesteren.nl/
