How do I make the navigation menu left of screen go away?

Thanks to you, breathe deep everybody. Aloha.

Or might it be a different list-- some browsers will open a side bar of browser-based features like downloads, unrelated to DU.

What browser do you use and on what device: desktop, notebook, pad or phone?
