Working Great. I can hide the "What's Happening" now and not read that junk and have Peace of Mind when I got Twitter / X

One huge plus that's not documented is the ability to remove the Explore Beta sidebar that one might see instead of the What's Happening sidebar. If you hide the What's Happening sidebar, the Explore Beta will thankfully disappear. The Explore beta is similar to What's Happening but you can't interact with it or control what it shows by any means. Highly recommend this extension to remove the X aggravations.

It works great! But it also hides my alt accounts when I want to change to a different account. I have to click "Manage accounts" to switch instead of just clicking one of the accounts it listed. EDIT: After the update, I can see my alt accounts now! Thanks! I've also added another star :)
