Is Sidebar for YouTube™ safe?

Low risk

Sidebar for YouTube removes YouTube frame-blocking headers from subframe responses across browsing contexts.

When the extension is enabled, its declarativeNetRequest rule removes frame-options and x-frame-options headers from YouTube subframe responses. Because the rule is not limited to the extension sidebar, non-YouTube pages can embed YouTube pages that those headers would normally block.
