Hid the explore button like I wanted. Also disabled comment functionality. *sigh*

This is the best extension for hiding the annoying Explore button on Google Drive - Google are too lazy to remove it or give the option to hide it, so this extension is a god send.

I'm fully lost. I installed this extension and, upon opening a document, nothing seems to be hidden. I don't know if this was meant for an earlier version of Google Docs but I can't seem to hide anything with it. There aren't any usable instructions or anything.
