This is exactly what I need, and now I use this extension almost every day. I have a small suggestion: I need the functionality to reopen the SideView content in a new tab, or the ability to copy the current SideView content URL. Thank you for your contribution.

a bit of a letdown since horizontal width can't be extended that much as the images
but at least its embedded into the search bar so can't complain
