The navigation bar is on the bottom instead of the top and I didn't like that. The navigation buttons to go back and forward do not work on some websites. The extension adds extra vertical and horizontal scrollbars when the sidebar is too small, which makes it look messy. I recommend using the "Page Sidebar | Open any page in side panel" extension instead and to be sure to visit the extension options page for that extension.

Garbage. Does not work. All links bring up the error "google refused to connect".

My company website requires a plugin to provision security tokens, and it does not open in this sidebar.
