## Description

Amazing Sidebar brings a Vivaldi-style sidebar browser directly into Firefox, letting you browse websites inside the sidebar panel without leaving your current tab.

<strong>Key Features:</strong>

🌐 <strong>Full Website Support</strong> — Bypasses X-Frame-Options and Content-Security-Policy headers so even Google, YouTube, and other restricted sites load perfectly inside the sidebar.

🏠 <strong>Home Screen</strong> — A clean grid of your saved sites greets you every time you open the sidebar. Click any site to open it instantly.

⌨️ <strong>Keyboard Shortcuts</strong> — Press Ctrl+Alt+S to toggle the sidebar open/closed and jump to the home screen. Use Alt+1 through Alt+0 to open your first 10 saved sites directly by their position in the list.

💾 <strong>Save Button</strong> — A green save button appears in the navigation bar whenever you visit a URL that isn't saved yet. One click saves it with automatic title and favicon fetching.

🖱 <strong>Context Menu Integration</strong> — Right-click any link or page in Firefox and choose "Open Link in Amazing Sidebar" or "Open Tab in Amazing Sidebar" to load it directly in the sidebar.

🎨 <strong>Customizable</strong> — Choose between Dark, Light, or AMOLED themes. Place the icon bar on the left or right side. Drag and drop to reorder your saved sites.

🖼 <strong>Smart Favicons</strong> — Icons are fetched using multiple strategies (HTML parsing, favicon.ico, Google S2, DuckDuckGo, Clearbit) to ensure the best quality icon for every site.

<strong>How to use:</strong>
1. Click the Amazing Sidebar icon in your toolbar to open the sidebar
2. Type a URL in the search bar or click a saved site to browse
3. Press Ctrl+Alt+S anytime to toggle the sidebar
4. Right-click any link → "Open Link in Amazing Sidebar"
5. Use Alt+1–0 to jump to your favorite sites instantly
