Details

I'm creating an extension that loads a foreign language dictionary in a sidebar to allow quick word lookup while reading foreign language websites. Unfortunately the dictionary site that I'm using has X-Frame-Options: sameorigin. A background script can apparently be used to remove (well, neuter) this response header for the site, but only when it's embedded in a webpage loaded in a tab. The same background script does not appear to apply to the site when embedded in a WebExtensions sidebar document. It seems like it should do though.

Oops, I had a bug in my script. This does in fact work.
