Describe the bug
Protect against XSS attacks by enabling browser XSS safeguards. XSS attacks involve an attacker injecting code into a page that is being sent to users. Some browsers have built-in XSS protection that is enabled by adding X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block to the response header of each page. This setting will stop the page being rendered if the browser detects an XSS attack. Note that this should only be considered as a last resort defence against XSS attacks.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
X-XSS-Protection headers: None

Expected behavior
Our site should be thoroughly reviewed and built with XSS safeguards in mind to prevent injection attempts from ever reaching the browser.
