Download Install Compare

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

Users find "Ignore X-Frame-Options Header" effective for bypassing iframe restrictions to enable embedding content otherwise blocked by browsers. It's praised for helping with tasks like recaptcha and viewing embedded calendars, and being open-source. However, multiple reviews highlight security concerns since it disables protective headers and lacks whitelist options, making it less secure. Some users note it does not always work with newer web features or certain sites. Overall, it serves a useful but limited role with trade-offs in security and reliability.
Pros
  • Effectively bypasses X-Frame-Options and content-security-policy headers to enable embedding of sites in iframes.
  • Essential for certain tasks like using recaptcha or viewing content embedded from sites with frame restrictions.
  • Simple and open-source, with no apparent malicious code.
  • Allows users to view embedded content that is otherwise blocked by browsers due to security policies.
  • Works well for specific use cases such as viewing Google Calendar or paying Netflix subscription via iframe.
Cons
  • Can be considered a security risk as it disables important browser protections against clickjacking.
  • Does not always work perfectly; some sites or functionality (like on Twitter previews) still fail due to other scripts or headers.
  • No built-in options to whitelist specific sites, leading to lack of control and potential security concerns.
  • Some users report it simply doesn't work in certain scenarios.
  • Firefox's newer security policies may reduce its effectiveness.

Fixes a problem that makes browsing a pain like Reddit Chat. Only thing better would be a way to enter specific sites you want it to work on for better security. Thanks for this extension.
