Discord Sidebar Hider Extension

The Discord Sidebar Hider reduces the channels list to a small left sidebar when it is not being used and installs a button on the top right corner to hide or display the Discord server list. Users are capable of customizing the extension with the popup that shows up when the extension button is clicked.
IMPORTANT: This extension is solely designed to function on Discord in browsers (discord.com), not the Discord desktop application.
