HOW SIDECAR WORKS
Why does Sidecar open on top of the page instead of pushing it over to the right like Firefox?
Sidebar bookmark in Firefox are part of the actual browser. Therefore it has special allowances. Chrome extensions don't have the allowances. Yes, we could make Sidecar push the content to the right instead of overlay. However, we have tested this extensively and it has proven problematic and in many cases, broken the layout of websites. Most user have told us that since Sidecar has easy ways to open/close it (see below) quickly that it is ok that it opens on top of the page. They just open/close when needed - usually with key command.

HOW TO OPEN SIDECAR
1. Click the browser tool bar button
2. Click the little tab you see on the left side of your browser
3. Setup a custom key command. Here is how: While in Chrome choose the "Window" menu then "Extensions". Scroll to the very bottom of the Extensions list. Click "Keyboard Shortcuts". Find Sidecar in the list and enter your a keyboard shortcut of your choice. Now Sidecar will open/close anytime you like.

UPDATED JAN 26th 2015
- Based on feedback, we've made the little tab on the left side of the browser optional. See settings panel for on/off switch. Also fixed a bunch of other bugs.

UPDATED JAN 13th 2015
- Added a small tab that hangs off the left side of the browser frame. Clicking the tab makes it really easy to open Sidecar.

UPDATED DEC 11th 2014
- Added optional "Always Open" or "Open on Demand" feature
- You can now add bookmarks to folders right inside Sidecar. Click a little plus button next to each folder in Sidecar, it will add the current web page to that bookmark folder. Really quick way to bookmark pages. Faster then the Firefox drag and drop method - we think, let u snow what you think
-Added a close and settings button to the bottom of sidecar
