How do I get rid of that new sidebar?

How do I get rid of that new sidebar, the slim section? It is totally wasted space! I just want my bookmarks there without that sidebar taking up real estate. It is totally useless for me! Sometimes you just need to leave things alone.

lyradd, to restore the original sidebar go to Tools menu > Settings, enter "Show sidebar" in the search field and uncheck this option in the search results.

But note that this setting is due to be removed in the near future, and the old sidebar will no longer be available.
