en Works great and I've used it for many years, but unfortunately with Chrome's deprecation of Manifest v2 extensions it's going to stop working soon. I hope the developer is able to update the extension to work with the new Manifest v3 system.

en This extension has some kind of malware that opens extra copies of tabs when you go to a retailer's site. Not sure what the over purpose is, but I suspect it's trying to create referral link revenue for the developer.

On each refresh the sidebar shows for a split second causing a jarring UI adjustment, but at least it works.

Used to work perfectly, but now it doesn't function. I found a similar extension called "reddit Sidebar Hider", that works correctly.
