Is AI Sidebar safe?
AI Sidebar weakens frame protections and changes fetch headers for pages opened inside its side panel.
AI Sidebar installs a browser rule that applies to extension subframes, including the ChatGPT page it embeds in its side panel. The rule removes Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options response headers and rewrites Sec-Fetch request headers for those framed pages.
