How to turn off left sidebar appearing in ios ver.15.3.1

Everytime I open a website or app, there is a sidebar on the left side of the screen. While looking at a web site, this sidebar opens, but is too small for me to read. Been using ipads for years, and never had it previously. There is no "multitasking" option in the ios 15.3.1 version, and no slide switch to turn it off. I want this distraction out of the way. How do I turn it off permanently?

iPad, iPadOS 15
