Sidebar To Be Discontinued?

Hi - Recently when I was on either my desktop or laptop I saw a notification that the sidebar would be going away. I can't seem to find any information on that now though. Will the sidebar still be going away soon? I for one would like to say that I enjoy that feature and would like to see it stay an option on desktops/laptops. If it does go away, how do we access bookmarks and synced tabs? Is there anything I need to do ahead of it possibly going away? Thanks in advance for your help!

No, I don't think it would go away. It's unlikely.

niagara94, they are planning to replace the original version of the sidebar with a newer one. This could possibly be what the notification was referring to?
