User reviews

Works as described and removes a pesky distraction from StackExchange. The sidebar serves no practical purpose apart from wasting your time so this is a godsend.

I was going through my history to see where I got distracted and found that the "Hot Questions" bar was the first distracted click of the day. Thanks for making it easy to remove!
