Description

Is your feature request related to a problem?

If customers doesn't need customization other than branding/styling, they should use Web Chat in IFRAME to reduce attack surface.

### Tasks
- [ ] Prefer ABS IFRAME if customization is not required (branding/styling is very limited, #4850 will solve it)
- [ ] CDN bundle: recommend Content Security Policy in `console.log`
- [ ] Will putting chat adapter in `SharedWorker` improve security?
