'Extensions' toolbar button

 

In an article on windowslatest.com, Mayank Parmar explains the new Downloads button in Canary. 

I noticed he has the 'Extension' button beside the 'Favorites' button. May I ask when that will be expected for Dev users?

    It's an old trick (+1 years)

    do these steps precisely

    1. Turn off startup boost: edge://settings/system
    2. make sure Edge is closed
    3. right-click on Edge shortcut on desktop, go to properties
    4. paste this at the end of "Target" area: "--enable-features=ExtensionsToolbarMenu" (without the quotes)
    5. click Apply
    6. click OK
    7. launch Edge using the same desktop shortcut

     

    It works on Edge canary, should work on Dev too.

        add a space between msedge.exe and --enable-feature

        this is how it should look like (from canary)
        "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge SxS\Application\msedge.exe" --enable-features=ExtensionsToolbarMenu
