Introducing the new Extensions menu on the toolbar
What you've pointed out and others who were "used" to this new extension button has been rinse and repeated by those who dislike this feature. There were no significant issues with Extensions at all - why fix what isn't broken? They had bigger fish to fry like having Edge be more tablet and touch friendly.
The Edge devs have "promised" a look and feel that will be independent of Chrome but it's the exact opposite - the Edge browser is starting to look more of Google Chrome than have its independent aesthetic design. Vertical tabs is putting a lipstick on a piggy - close but no cigar there IMO. It's been years since you introduced Fluent design and it's still not implemented decently in your browser and worst yet, it feels like you guys have given up and just following what Google does.
What others have suggested have been implemented by Firefox - the customizable overflow menu as shown in the screenshots below are an example of what a lot of us envision this to be. For me it's not perfect - I hope I can delete the separator...but it's much better than what Edge has.
I've been using Edge as my main browser since it was introduced (used Firefox, Opera and Vivaldi sparingly) but ever since they've been moving closer and closer to being just a copy of the world's most popular browser; I've been appreciating how Firefox has become.

Why do you think Edge looking like Chrome is bad and if it looked like Firefox it's a good thing?
you personally appreciate Firefox, and someone else appreciates Chrome and Edge.
that doesn't mean they are wrong or right.
Edge can look like Firefox, Chrome, other browser, partially or not, or it can look like none of them, or a mixture of everything plus unique elements. either way, it's all good.
it's better to emphasize on the usability of a feature rather than its dynasty.
