Extension summary

Removes chat sidebar but still allows for chat functionality through the messages icon.

In order to increase productivity and waste less time, this extension is designed to remove distracting features of Facebook. However, unlike other News Feed removers, this allows you to quickly toggle between displaying the news feed and hiding it entirely, with the default set to hidden. The extension neither stores nor accesses any data besides removing the elements rendered in your browser on Facebook.com websites.
