Added to Chrome. Reloaded the Amazon page... Like magic the cart is swept away from view and chaos has been restored. Shame on Amazon site for not allowing us to simply X out this feature! Thank you for creating this extension - you have no idea how much I appreciate your time & efforts. <3

Extension safety

Risk impact

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.

Hide Amazon™ Cart Sidebar requires very minimum permissions.
