Remove distracting sidebars from StackOverflow.

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.

Janac Meena 2020-12-08 No longer works to remove the "meta" sidebar?
Forrest Hopkins 2020-04-06 I've really struggled to not look at the HNQ sidebar for fear of Endgame spoilers, and it's not going well. This extension saved my life. Does exactly what it says it does. I do think it would be nice if it had some options though -- like which sidebars to remove. EDIT: Doesn't work for AskUbuntu or SuperUser or any site that's not a subdomain of SE.com -- really reduces the usefulness of the extension EDIT 2: Now works for other domains, thanks dev! EDIT 3: I've appreciated this extension a lot over the past year but it's time to put it out to pasture; there's now a "Hide HNQ" setting built into SE. Thanks to everyone involved for helping prove the demand for this feature!

EZ Carnivore 2019-05-03 I've got ADD, and not having to see the big list of distractions on the side of Stack Overflow has been a huge help for me! Only suggestion is to also remove the Teams thing on the left side that pops up over the question randomly. Thanks for the great extension!
fredsbend 2018-12-07 After SE's recent addition of a right sidebar, along with the already intrusive left sidebar, I flipped a lid. Basically wrote them hate mail on meta, then made my own custom extension to fix the stupid site theme and get my screen space back. I was going to polish it up and upload to the Chrome store, but saw yours already here. It works perfectly and does nearly everything my custom one was dong. Thanks.
