Remove Wikimedia Sidebar Firefox

Remove Wikimedia Sidebar

Removes the sidebar on Wikipedia, Commons, Wikibooks, Wikiquote, Wikisource... and other Wikimedia websites.

Features & Capabilities

As the sidebar on some Wikimedia websites is really annoying, this extension allows to hide the sidebar on Wikimedia websites.

Removes the sidebar on wikimedia.org, wikipedia.org, wiktionary.org, wikiquote.org, wikibooks.org, wikisource.org, wikinews.org, mediawiki.org, wikivoyage.org, wikifunctions.org.

It is possible to enable or disable the removal of the sidebar just by (un)checking a checkbox on the settings popup page of the extension.

This add-on doesn't know anything about you, doesn't log anything, and doesn't send anything to anyone. Everything stays private, or, at least, on your computer! It would work perfectly offline if we could access to the Wikimedia websites offline (unfortunately, it is impossible...)

If you have any trouble with the extension, let me know by writing a review on the addon page or by opening an issue on GitHub : github.com/PetitPotiron/remove-wikimedia-sidebar/issues.

Is Remove Wikimedia Sidebar Safe?

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.

Remove Wikimedia Sidebar requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

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.
