Is youside youtube sidebar safe?

Low risk

youside youtube sidebar rewrites headers on every youtube.com request to embed YouTube in its side panel.

The extension adds a YouTube sidebar and ships a built-in network rule that applies to all youtube.com requests, including normal tabs. The rule removes Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options headers, sets permissive CORS headers, and changes the user-agent, origin and referer values so YouTube can load inside the panel. This lowers framing and CSP protections on youtube.com; no user data is shown being sent anywhere.
