Should Sidecar push web page content over to the right or slide into the window on top of the web page content?

Currently, Sidecar slides in from the left within the window you are on. It appears in a layer on top of the contents of the window - hiding some of the content. 

The other option is to have it "push" the content to the right. The downside to this is that if you have a small screen (laptops for example) it will push some of the content off to the right side of the browser window. 

The question is which does the community prefer?

Both options should be available since I imagine I might like it to push content aside on a larger screen and overlay on a smaller screen.

PLEASE, PLEASE push the window to the right, and not cover the window contents.    OR, give me the option.  If you don't fix this, can I have my money back??    Wayne

Thanks for your note onanchor. Frankly I agree. I'd prefer it to push the content over, or give the option. However, because of the way we ave to develop this plugin (limitations imposed by Chrome) we found the push method to be really problematic. So we opted for the overlay. We'll revisit push sometime this quarter though.
