I can't disable sidebar. I've gone through all the steps and pressed ctrl+b and nothing works

I regret updating to the new brave browser as I’ve never had a feature appear like this that wasn’t just in the settings. I’ve found both solved posts on disabling this. I typed the URL in and got to the settings, searched for it and disabled it. I then restarted the browser and it is still there. I went through the same steps and it was already set to disabled. I was also told by another forum to press ctrl + B and it didn’t work. I tried function + b as well. is the shortcut different on a mac?
