HOW SIDECAR WORKS Why does Sidecar open on top of the page instead of pushing it over to the right like Firefox? Sidebar bookmark in Firefox are part of the actual browser. Therefore it has special allowances. Chrome extensions don't have the allowances. Yes, we could make Sidecar push the content to the right instead of overlay. However, we have tested this extensively and it has proven problematic and in many cases, broken the layout of websites. Most user have told us that since Sidecar has easy ways to open/close it (see below) quickly that it is ok that it opens on top of the page. They just open/close when needed - usually with key command.
