Automatically closes the right info panel every time it opens itself while you use the app.

Code to copy

// Keep the right info panel closed if it ever opens itself
function closeRightPanel() {
  const panel = document.querySelector('.sidebar-right.active, .RightColumn:not(.RightColumn-open-false)');
  const closeBtn = document.querySelector('.sidebar-right .sidebar-header .btn-icon.sidebar-close-button, .RightColumn .Button.close');
  if (panel && closeBtn) { closeBtn.click(); }
}
closeRightPanel();
const obs = new MutationObserver(closeRightPanel);
obs.observe(document.documentElement, { childList: true, subtree: true });

Does this example work?

Snippets are useless without somewhere to paste them.

JustZix takes 2 minutes to install and runs your code on every matching page. No account, no payment.
