Is Search & Link Preview safe?

Low risk

Search & Link Preview lets same-origin page scripts open arbitrary URLs in a preview iframe with frame protections removed.

The extension injects a content script on all HTTP and HTTPS pages and listens for page messages marked for its search-preview package. A page script on the same origin can ask it to preview or search a supplied URL, and the extension loads that URL in an iframe while its rules remove Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options headers for framed pages.
