You can close the chat bar. Problem solved?

I do use the chat though, and every time you click on the chat it brings back the sidebar and requires clicking a tiny icon and a menu option to get rid of it again.

Little-known tip (I think): messenger.com offers a web UI for Facebook chat similar to their iOS/Android apps, also ad-free and significantly cleaner than the actual Facebook UI. No idea whether it's actually better on power consumption though.
