Use the Phantom browser extension as a side panel

The Phantom browser extension can appear in two ways: popup mode and side panel mode. Phantom opens in popup mode by default. If set to side panel mode, the extension persists in that state. 

Popup mode #

Phantom opens in a small window on top of your current browser tab.
