# Second Sidebar for Firefox
A Firefox userChrome.js script for adding a second sidebar with web panels like in Vivaldi/Edge/Floorp/Zen but better.
## Motivation
I've tried various browsers, such as Vivaldi, Edge, Floorp, and Zen, and they all have one thing in common that I can't imagine using a browser without — the sidebar. Unfortunately, Firefox, which I feel most closely aligns with my needs in terms of spirit and functionality, has a rather unsatisfactory sidebar. Therefore, I decided to create another one myself, with blackjack and hookers!
## Demo
