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.

No longer works to remove the "meta" sidebar?

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!
