The sidebar loads a page only when you open it

On 14 October the sidebar entries became real links, so they can be opened in a new tab or copied. Links like these load their page ahead of time as soon as they appear on screen. That meant every time the app opened, it asked the server for each page in the sidebar, ten to twenty requests per visit, though most visits open one or two of them.

Sidebar links now load their page only when you click them, as they did before the change. A click waits a moment for the server before the loading screen appears. Opening an entry in a new tab, copying its link and keyboard use all work as before.
