Top 10 Best Sidebar Extensions for Chrome in 2025

User reviews

Users appreciate the Page Sidebar extension for improving multitasking by allowing any webpage to open in a side panel, enhancing productivity and note-taking. The developer is also praised for responsiveness and updates. However, multiple users report problems with Google services and sign-in pages showing errors, persistent cookie consent pop-ups, lack of right-side pinning, and occasional navigation issues in the sidebar. Despite these drawbacks, the extension is valued enough to remain installed by users over time and ranks highly among sidebar tools.

Pros

Enables opening any webpage in a sidebar for efficient multitasking and reference work.
Highly useful for monitoring services like messaging without occupying a full window.
Good functionality similar to sidebar features of other browsers like Microsoft Edge.
Developer is responsive and actively fixes bugs based on user feedback.
Offers customization options and integrates well with local AI assistants for enhanced productivity.

Cons

Issues with loading some Google services and other web pages requiring sign-in, showing access errors.
Persistent cookie consent banners that do not disappear even after acceptance, especially problematic in the EU.
No option to pin the sidebar on the right by default; sidebar position defaults to left without easy adjustment.
Navigation buttons like back/forward may not work as expected within the sidebar.
Some websites fail to open properly, limiting usability for certain frequently accessed sites.

this is a scam. fake extension. All the websites I need, one of them is Google Keep, are only showing this message: 403. That’s an error. We're sorry, but you do not have access to this page. That’s all we know. and most of of the website i need

This is a really great extension. My question is how do you pin it on the right by default? Everytime I open it, it opens on the left.

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Page Sidebar | Open any page in side panel requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
