Why won't the sidebar load?
If the Privacy Party sidebar is showing a message like "Oops! Something went wrong" instead of its normal content (see the following image for an example), you may need to reload the page or restart the extension.

To restart Privacy Party, follow these steps:
- First, close all of your open tabs
- Then, navigate to chrome://extensions
- On that page, you should see a panel for each extension installed on your computer. Find the panel for Privacy Party, and then click the toggle on the bottom right hand corner (see the image below) - this will disable the Privacy Party extension.
- Click the toggle again to re-enable the extension
The extension will now have been restarted and should work again.
