Is Inline Lingo Translator safe?

Medium risk

Inline Lingo Translator removes browser security headers from Google Translate subframe requests and responses.

The extension embeds Google Translate in its popup and installs a browser rule for translate.google.com subframes. While enabled, that rule removes X-Frame-Options from Google Translate responses and Fetch Metadata headers from matching requests, including subframes created outside the extension popup.
