When in Safari landscape mode half of my screen is taken by favorites,reading list and history, how do I turn this off so I can use the whole screen?

I know that this is a setting that has been changed but I cannot remember what it is and how to change it so I can use the whole screen on my 7+ phone running IOS 11.3. Thanks everyone.

iOS 11.0.3

If your screen looks like this, scroll up slightly to reveal the address bar

Then you will see a highlighted button to the left of the address bar. Tap that.

Now you get the whole screen for web browsing.
