"Show Empty Lists" will show all previously hidden lists. "Shrink Lists" will reduce the width of lists on the board automatically based on available screen space. When lists have been shrunk, the button changes to "Expand Lists". "Expand Lists" will revert lists to their original size.

Recent reviews

I used to absolutely love this extension because I could filter cards and then make it hide all lists that didn't have a filtered card in them. I would have given it six stars. But since the fall of 2023 it doesn't hide empty lists when filtering, only lists that have no cards in them at all. It's no longer useful to me, and I haven't found a satisfactory substitute. Two stars because, aside from the lack of functionality with filtering, it works cleanly.
