Edge Dev Build - Extensions Button Appeared - problems
khunopie to hide the extension icons, you should first set the show Extensions Button to on, then click the extensions button to manage the visibility of the extensions you've installed.
LexusYuenYes, but this is the problem. Now you're stuck with that button in the menu bar instead of extensions being relegated to the ... menu. Favorites, Downloads, etc. don't require a button to be visible in the toolbar but in the current implementation Extensions now must live there which some of us don't want.

it's much better than having extension icons scattered around. this is a unified place for all extension icons.
- lindhartsenMar 04, 2021Iron ContributorSure - but that's also what the ... menu served as for those of us who want a clean navigation bar. Right now I don't show any buttons up there, but with this implementation I'm required to have that puzzle piece no matter what. If this functioned similar to other functionality and could be hidden like Favorites/Downloads/etc. it'd be fine.
- HotCakeXMar 04, 2021MVPit is clean now.
it can't be hidden because extensions won't have anywhere to go,
(...) menu no longer accepts extension icons.
they are all in the same place now. this solves issues that people had with previous design.

The extensions in the menu are compact and easily arranged according to how YOU want them. As well right click to access the extension options.
The new "Chrome" ext button is rigid, inconvenient and does not offer these advantages
