Is WeChat Web™ Open SideBar in Chrome safe?
WeChat Web Open SideBar in Chrome removes WeChat frame protections so web.wechat.com can open inside its side panel.
The extension uses declarativeNetRequest rules on wechat.com pages to remove X-Frame-Options and content security policy response headers and rewrite Sec-Fetch request headers. It then loads https://web.wechat.com into an extension iframe, so URLs and browser request headers for that page are sent to web.wechat.com.
