Is insidebar.ai safe?

Low risk

insidebar.ai lets framed AI provider pages receive webpage messages that write text into their prompt boxes.

The extension removes frame-blocking headers for supported AI providers and runs its text-injection content script inside those frames. That script accepts INJECT_TEXT window messages without checking the sender, so a webpage that frames a supported provider can make the extension write chosen text into the provider's editor.
