Enables a more pleasant experience viewing Reddit on a smaller window by toggling the visibility of the sidebar.
Reddit Sidebar Toggle Button Extension
This is a good solution for those that like to have multiple pages open, but dislike how the sidebar pushes all of the text to the side. If you ever want to see new announcements that moderators pushed through the sidebar, want to submit something, or simply have the sidebar visible, just click the button again and the sidebar will re-appear as if nothing happened.
By default, the current version disables the button when the sidebar is not taking up too much screen space. However, this setting can be toggled from the \"RSTB\" tab usually found at the top of the Reddit so that it is on at all times.
This extension also works with RES!
