Hide Discord Sidebar Extension

If you find this extension helpful, I would be grateful if you can buy me a coffee at https://ko-fi.com/patrickxchong. 🙏

Hide Discord Sidebar is a Chrome extension that minimizes the channels list into a small left sidebar when it is not in use and installs a button on the top right corner to hide/show the Discord server list. Users are able to customise the extension with the popup that shows when the extension button is clicked.

k h (ID: 000000014747a50e) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/09/2023 I love this extension and have used it for a long time -- but all of a sudden, the "Hide Servers" button has started completely covering up the "Inbox" button, and I can no longer access my notifications unless I disable the extension. I don't know what happened! Developer, can you help? ㅠㅠㅠ
