## Description

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

Removes the sidebar on <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/a86bce50cd940314a23b535f795c9269211712ff7ce05c13d5fd3beda56b7268/http%3A//wikimedia.org" rel="nofollow">wikimedia.org</a>, <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/db8f5c2b01c115ecc04f65eb1be6b9fa396e8cf25db7aa6b6724ed3e5035dfe9/http%3A//wikipedia.org" rel="nofollow">wikipedia.org</a>, <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/ec02712d1fa67bfcf6e90c252a0ead0b844fa98c973ea9095d9f5d3837f6c24c/http%3A//wiktionary.org" rel="nofollow">wiktionary.org</a>, <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/d5e3ca6ec3515098fbf6ec1ce6cf405a2657808b7f8d9ad2410f36081b3fb53c/http%3A//wikiquote.org" rel="nofollow">wikiquote.org</a>, <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/a818dbf1596944db7a67081799b41fa0faec65549b8524aa839b666dfe02061c/http%3A//wikibooks.org" rel="nofollow">wikibooks.org</a>, <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/601420358ff96ae5908058b50273ca70ea93b12d90127be07ac8b03ec6288c66/http%3A//wikisource.org" rel="nofollow">wikisource.org</a>, <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/5c69f53457d7abed01da90c326814ed568f0cf57a4a7996f5f6e68e18417f2b5/http%3A//wikinews.org" rel="nofollow">wikinews.org</a>, <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/63b5e66553b407d298ae1a043b907e5b1e742df5679fa4c681ab4d7e070758fc/http%3A//mediawiki.org" rel="nofollow">mediawiki.org</a>, <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/55046e12215bd861935469638e2937edec6bc956df9f173d102e2f485616d80e/http%3A//wikivoyage.org" rel="nofollow">wikivoyage.org</a>, <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/939cb5d6635ce3c21db89baadc9643540eac11484e3be60c1b281d4b8450a3a3/http%3A//wikifunctions.org" rel="nofollow">wikifunctions.org</a>.

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

<b>This add-on doesn't know anything about you</b>, 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 : <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/856895b5196ffe1e02c1689ccce4123f4af84db715829b151a1dc363caee0124/http%3A//github.com/PetitPotiron/remove-wikimedia-sidebar/issues" rel="nofollow">github.com/PetitPotiron/remove-wikimedia-sidebar/issues</a>.
