The Reddit Sidebar Hider Chrome extension is a straightforward and lightweight tool that allows users to toggle the sidebar on Reddit, freeing up valuable screen space wasted by the sidebar. This extension is ideal for users who prefer a cleaner browsing experience without distractions. Users can easily toggle the sidebar on or off by clicking the extension icon located in the upper right corner of their browser. Note that this extension is designed for Reddit's classic layout and does not support the Reddit redesign. The source code is open and available on GitHub, providing transparency and community collaboration potential.

By hiding the sidebar, users can focus more on Reddit's main content, especially beneficial for those with smaller screen sizes or who prefer minimalist layouts. Installation is quick and the extension runs smoothly without impacting browsing performance.
