what if I don't have control of the backend server? Is there a way I can bypass this CORS error for development purposes in my local?

There should be but I really don't know. One more thing tht i know is; if you're using a production backend (somedomain.com/api), you can proxy it like: cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/https:...

hey, sometimes https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com is not working... is there any other similar one that I can use in place of this which is much more reliable?

Man it's been long but i couldn't see your last comment. :D You can clone corsy-anywhere project to your local. Then you can proxy it like "localhost:8080/somedomain.com/api". Corsy anywhere github repo: github.com/Rob--W/cors-anywhere
