Reddit Sidebar Toggle Button Extension

This add-on adds a minimally intrusive button on your lower right hand screen to toggle the sidebar while browsing Reddit.

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!

All source code for the extension can be found at https://github.com/tacowhisperer/RSTB
