Sometimes I need to watch a video on youtube.

Even if I quickly go fullscreen, there's enough time to be enticed by the algorithmically-addictive video on the side menu.

What browser magic can I most simply implement to hide the side menu?

Last Week in the Fediverse - ep 25

Some standouts of this weeks news:

Lemmy and Kbin (the 'threadiverse') have experienced rapid growth over the last two weeks, before yesterday's shutdown of third party apps for Reddit.

Meta's Twitter competitor is named Threads, new screenshots available.

Kolektiva.social's data got seized by the FBI in an (unrelated) raid, after the admin erroneously had left an unencrypted backup on a local drive.
