      Before this update, the console included an outdated security instruction `X-XSS-Protection` when sending pages to your browser. This update removes that instruction. As a result, the console runs securely in modern browsers. (link:https://issues.redhat.com/browse/OCPBUGS-60130[OCPBUGS-60130])

      Description of problem:

      We should not set the X-XSS-Protection header. That header is now deprecated and should not be set. 
      
      See: https://github.com/openshift/console/issues/15344   

      How reproducible:

      Always    

      Actual results:

      X-XSS-Protection is set as: ("X-XSS-Protection", "1; mode=block") 

      Expected results:

      Remove setting the X-XSS-Protection header in totality
