Ignore X-Frame-Options Header is a powerful Chrome extension designed to enable users to load any website inside iframes despite restrictions imposed by the X-Frame-Options HTTP header. Many websites prohibit embedding their content through iframe tags for security reasons, but this extension overrides those settings, allowing seamless framing of remote sites.

With this extension, developers and users can test web content or aggregate remote pages effortlessly. It provides flexibility for embedded content use cases without needing server changes. A sample test page is included to ensure the extension is working correctly. Install the extension to enhance your iframe capabilities and work around default browser security policies safely.

User reviews

The 'Ignore X-Frame-Options Header' Firefox add-on is praised for effectively circumventing iframe restrictions, especially useful for tasks like ReCaptcha and enhancing other extensions. It is appreciated for being open source and straightforward. However, users note limitations including the inability to whitelist specific sites, incomplete functionality with modern web protections, and failures on some domains. While enabling features disabled by default browser policies, it may not fully resolve all framing issues due to evolving web security measures.

Pros

Effectively bypasses X-Frame-Options header allowing iframe embedding where normally restricted.
Essential for certain functionalities like using ReCaptcha or enabling features in other extensions (e.g., Infinite Scroll).
Open Source and considered a must-have by some users for enhanced browsing capabilities.
No security or source code concerns mentioned, users see it as safe and reliable.
Simple and does exactly what it promises without unnecessary complexity.

Cons

Does not allow specifying particular sites to enable the bypass, raising potential security concerns.
No longer sufficient for all use cases as modern web protections and scripts may still prevent certain content from loading properly.
Fails to work in some scenarios, such as embedding Google.com, returning 'SAMEORIGIN' errors.
Web security defenses like content security policies still interfere, limiting the extension's effectiveness.
Users experience broken page previews or incomplete functionality due to other failed requests or scripts.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Ignore X-Frame-Options Header requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
