Dev channel update to 90.0.810.1 is live

I've written at some length in my own thread and on your thread about the new extensions manager dropdown menu, so here I'll just re-emphasise that an extension manager is not the same thing as a toolbar overflow menu for toolbar buttons, and while I don't honestly care about you adding the extensions manager dropdown, I DO really REALLY care about you having removed the toolbar button overflow. The new extensions manager dropdown does NOT make up for the loss of the toolbar button overflow menu for me. The old overflow at the top of the More menu was just the 18 buttons  not on the toolbar, just to press them not manage, out of the way but quick to reach, all in a small area visible at once for pressing, and I could re-order them like the buttons in the toolbar, in my case to ones I used at the top, the ones that don't do anything (as the extension is always running) at he bottom. The extensions manager is a long scrolling list, one per line, in alphabetical order, of all 27 buttons INCLUDING the ones already on the toolbar, with room for symbols and menu openers for all the management tools for each. As a lightweight extensions manager dropdown it's fine. As a toolbar button overflow it is appalling.

It's incredible. Every time you get edge to a point where I think 'It's now useable for general browsing', the very next update you add or remove something that wrecks it for me. I need a toolbar button overflow with the functionality it had before. With your extensions manager dropdown is fine. But the loss of a useable (to me, with the extensions I use and the browsing I do) toolbar button overflow means Canary and Dev are now unusable for me (Stable and Beta are still unusable for reasons only recently fixed in Dev and Canary), and the short period in which I've been trying out Edge as my general browser has come to a screeching halt. I will now just be installing each Canary and Dev update just to run once only to look for the return of a useable toolbar button overflow..

For me this is a sine qua non issue, so I won't be looking at anything else unless and until I know that (unlike in Google Chrome, with this being one reason I'll never consider using that) you are going to address this satisfactorily.

Seriously, could no one in the team see that an extension manager is functionally and fundamentally a different thing to a toolbar button overflow so the former will not be a replacement for the latter, just something different?
