Split screen

Hello. I am banging my head on the wall because I cannot get rid of a split screen. Can anyone help? I don’t understand computer-speak, so advice will need to be as user-friendly as Windows XP was.Thank you.


My screen has 2/3 occupied by what I want to read online. The remaining third is a grey rectangular block which shows Reading List, Bookmark or History. I did not request this, it just appeared.


Advice online is to slide over, but this only works for two website pages. On my iPad at present, there is no black dividing line with a slider to move. Trying to slide what I’m reading either Selects, or pushes it under the Reading List section I don’t want to see.


I also tried clicking the double square at the top right, then on the menu, Merge Tabs. That does nothing, because the Reading List isn’t a website tab.


I’d be really grateful if someone could explain how to banish the grey Reading List slab from my screen (& from my iPad altogether, but just getting it off screen would suffice). I will pass it forward.


Be well,

BB.
