About this extension
This extension runs in the background on Reddit.com and collapses the left navigation sidebar categories on page loads. This protects your privacy from anyone looking over your shoulder and seeing your custom, recent, or community subreddits.
One caveat is, if you close the entire sidebar it will be forced open on the next page load to collapse the categories. Due to Reddit's site design the categories can't be collapsed if the entire sidebar is closed. Without doing this, opening the sidebar would expose your subreddits.
As a bonus, this extension strips tracking hashes out of the browser's URL on Reddit.
Reddit recently removed comment context when viewing notification messages. This extension returns the context flag so when viewing replies you can see the comment in which they are replying to.
PERMISSIONS
This extension only has permission to:

Release notes for 142.0.0.1
Added comment context (?context=3 to URL) when viewing notification messages, allowing you to see what the comment is in reply to. No idea why Reddit removed this ability.
