Is Sidebar for Google Tasks safe?
Sidebar for Google Tasks removes Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options headers from tasks.google.com to embed it in a browser side panel.
The extension adds a declarativeNetRequest rule that strips CSP and X-Frame-Options response headers from tasks.google.com on every matching sub-frame request, and also spoofs the Referer header to mail.google.com. This allows the extension to load the Google Tasks web app inside an iframe in its side panel, bypassing Google's own embedding restrictions. No user data is transmitted to third parties; the modification is local and targets only tasks.google.com.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
7 other listings published from this account, 380k+ users between them, none of them carrying a finding.
Shared hosts - 1 hostname
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.

What it can do
Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 26.4.4. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to. The current listed version is 26.9.6, which we have not unpacked yet.
