Hm.  I see your points.  The only problem that I can see is that there is no way
to fix this.

I recently have fallen love with 'links' (text based fork of lynx).  It is very
fast and supports tables.

I do agree that bypassing the sidebar is kind of a pain but the current website
has the same problems.  The only difference is that the bar is at the top of the
page instead of the left
