People can be watching TED talks while concurrently browsing thru related materials -- which could be described as multitasked learning (or "multimodal learning.") This is similar to when people watch television while surfing the web on a tablet or laptop. Such experiences make best use of human attention and best use of time. Side View on a 1440p (or larger) monitor literally expands the canvas of ways we can communicate ideas with each other. I applaud Mozilla for inventing Side View and am hoping it will soon exit the add-on stage and be folder into the central Firefox code. Naturally, someone needs to be holding a contest for the most interesting uses of Side View...

- Rated 2 out of 5by Risket, duela 21 orduDecent idea but it doesn't let you full go half and half, it only works as a small sidebar. This also caused an issue with YouTube Music where the music would pause as soon as the YT Music tab lost focus. Even if I wasn't actively using the Side View, my music would pause as soon as I moved to a different tab. So I couldn't have music playing in the background while I do other things.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13603996, duela egun batI love it! I run AI chat in the side view, always available for me.
I'd given it 5 stars if it had more options, like the option to specify shortcuts to different pages or setting a default page to load in it at startup. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18416970, duela 2 egun

- Rated 3 out of 5by Chris Hayes, duela 10 egunSeems like a neat idea; however, it's clunky for anyone that puts their tabs in the sidebar since you can only show one or the other at a time, not both.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17701418, duela 10 egunThe idea is great, and one of the reasons I still enjoy another Browser VERY much for having this feature. But as it is implemented right now, the Side View is far too limited. Not being able to increase the width or having more than just one side view are dealbreakers (so is the "Side View" header, it wastes space)

- Rated 3 out of 5by strigoi, duela 24 egunAfter the last update of the extension, it conflicts with Google Meet, it gives me the following message:
The page is not redirected correctly
An error occurred while connecting to meet.app.goo.gl.
• The cause of this problem may be the deactivation or refusal of cookies
I had to restart in safe mode (extensions disabled) then reactivate each extension one by one to find the culprit. - Rated 3 out of 5by zhuangxiaosen, duela hilabete batPlease note: The Side View extension is not well compatible with another extension called Toggle Sidebery sidebar. 😅
- Rated 5 out of 5by Static1047, duela hilabete batThis is perfect for quickly throwing an email I am referencing in the sidebar and copying the data over!
- Rated 1 out of 5by muffin, duela hilabete batquite terrible. takes over your sidebar so if you have vertical tabs there you can say bye bye to them.

Updated instructions for Feb 2024 (I'm on Firefox version 123)
- Go to about:support
- in Application Basics section find row called Profile Directory, click on Open Directory button
- Close all firefox running instances
- In that folder, find xulstore.json and open it with a text editor
- Find where it says "sidebar-box":{
- inside those brackets look for "style":
- inside this find width: and replace with the following:
width: 50%; max-width: none !important; min-width: 0px !important;
- if you did it correctly it should look like this: "style":"-moz-box-ordinal-group: 3; order: 1; width: 50%; max-width: none !important; min-width: 0px !important;","checked":"true"
- save the file and close, open Firefox and have fun :) - Rated 4 out of 5by CherKab, duela 4 hilabeteCette extension pour firefox est vraiment très utile.
Je ne peut m'en passer. Le seul inconvénient c'est qu'elle n'est pas implémenter de base et qu'elle ne figure pas parmi les extension recommandée par Mozilla Firefox.
merci à la fondation pour le travail que vous faite en apparence. - Rated 3 out of 5by BrunoFortunatto, duela 4 hilabeteUma função boa mas parece que foi abandonada pela Mozilla! Última atualização a cinco anos! Seria bom uma atualização que redirecionasse a barra lateral automaticamente para um tamanho compatível com a leitura! Outra atualização seria ao clicar sobre o ícone do Side View, ele fechasse automaticamente, retornando para a função anterior na barra.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Alien10001, duela 5 hilabeteLooks bad in dark mode. The icon of the extension is black on dark background. Also would be cool if the list of recent and current tabs changed to a dark theme when dark mode is enabled. Please remove the icon in the website context menu. Context menus had icons in earlier versions of Firefox but all of the icons got removed.
