User reviews

Users appreciate the Reddit Sidebar Toggle add-on for its simplicity, reliability, and effectiveness in hiding the Reddit sidebar. It offers a more elegant solution than previous manual methods. However, multiple reviews mention the lack of a default 'hidden' state, requiring users to toggle the sidebar visibility every time they open a new page, which is a commonly requested feature.
Pros
  • Effectively hides the Reddit sidebar, improving user experience.
  • Simple and convenient to use, allowing quick toggling of the sidebar.
  • Installs quickly and works reliably without issues.
  • More elegant solution compared to previous methods like JavaScript bookmarks.
  • Adequate for users who want control over sidebar visibility.
Cons
  • Lacks an option to have the sidebar hidden by default when opening new pages.
  • Users have to toggle the sidebar each time manually, which can be inconvenient.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Reddit Sidebar Toggle does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
    Risk likelihood
    Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

    Reddit Sidebar Toggle is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
