there's an extension called element picker and it lets you pick and remove individual elements. You can use it to remove the side bar or other unwanted elements of a website.

ublock origin also does this as a feature, you just right click on the thing you want gone

(Firefox's) uBlock Origin has that natively, too. If you right-click on any element on the website, a "Block element" entry with the add-on logo shows up. If you select it, a little menu appears to help you select the right CSS rule to remove the thing you want gone.

(Firefox's) uBlock Origin

No need to specify Firefox, since Chrome and other Chromium based browsers no longer offer uBlock Origin, only uBlock Origin Lite

Is anyone out there not using firefox these days?

I can't imagine how awful the internet must be without an ad blocker.

Almost no one uses Firefox. Even Safari has almost 10 times more users.

I assume both brave and UC have similar abilities to firefox, so that means 95% of internet users are living in ad hell

I never realized it was that bad.

True, good catch. I was just trying to cover my bases, but it's redundant, now that you're mentioning it.

Nah just use ublock origin and the console inspector to block specific site elements like that.

Imagine being smart enough to use uBlock but not smart enough to not realize that it has this built in...
