Remove distracting sidebars from StackOverflow.
SidebarOverflow Extension
NEW: this works on all StackExchange websites now :) thanks to everyone who contributed code! Because of this, the extension might ask you for more permissions.

I love Stack Overflow. But the sidebars can get annoying, especially the Meta and the Hiring ones. Plus, many a hour have I wasted browsing through \"Hot Network Questions\" because I saw some interesting post on English Stack Exchange. And oh my god the Chat thing is so useless.
This extension cleans all that up. I wanted to keep the Related and Linked questions though - that stuff's useful.
The screenshots show a Before and After view of the same Stack Overflow question.
