Is App for WhatsApp and Messenger access safe?

Low risk

App for WhatsApp and Messenger access removes security headers on messaging and social sites.

The extension installs declarative network rules that remove headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security on Slack, Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, and Hangouts pages. It also rewrites some Messenger request headers, and these changes run automatically on matching traffic rather than only inside the extension launcher.
