Is Fox News Side panel MeaVana safe?

Low risk

Fox News Side panel MeaVana removes Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options headers from responses on every site.

On install the extension registers a persistent browser rule that strips Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options headers from all http(s) responses, not just its own side panel. This is likely so the side panel can embed third-party sites in frames, but it applies to every site you visit. It also removes the 'link' response header on XHR requests.
