A customizable sidebar extension for Chromium-based browsers like Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, and Opera / Opera GX that allows you to dock your favorite web applications directly into the browser's side panel.

Alt+Z). - Contextual Copy Utilities: Includes a one-click header utility to instantly copy the active tab's URL to your clipboard for easy pasting into docked AI tools.
- Saved Preferences: Your custom list of web apps is automatically saved to local storage, ensuring your custom setup remains intact even after restarting the browser.

- Right-click an icon to edit, remove, or open elsewhere

To allow external websites to load inside the sidebar's <iframe> context, this extension utilizes the declarativeNetRequest API to modify HTTP response headers. However, some websites might not connect and load due to client-side bot-mitigation techniques (such as Cloudflare Turnstile), which block rendering within an iframe.
