User Reviews

Been looking for an extension to free up space on my Whatsapp Web window by hiding the chat list when tiling windows horizontally. I remember using a similar extension for Chromium which toggles with a button. This is maybe the 3rd or 4th Firefox extension I've tried and not only is it the first to work, it exceeded my expectations by hiding the chat list automatically with viewport width detection. 5 stars!

Is Whatsapp Auto-Hide 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.

Whatsapp Auto-Hide Sidebar requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
