How to Unhide (vs) disable/enable my Extensions in Edge?
I just installed Edge. I'm about to uninstall it. Before I do, I thought I would make a post here. With Chrome, I can HIDE or UNHIDE an extension with ease. When I hide an extension in Edge, it suppo...

Hi,
Edge is different than Chrome,
Hide and Unhide buttons have different labels and behavior here.
you can move an extension's icon from Edge toolbar to the ellipsis menu (the 3-dots), and call it hiding.
so click on (...) menu button at top-right side of the browser
at the top, you will find the extensions that you moved to the menu
right-click on them and choose "Move to the toolbar"
You can also use drag & drop to move it to the toolbar

Thanks, I tried doing that. There is no way I can move the extension icons anywhere except on the same "line" to reorder. As you seem to have this option, I believe the Windows7/ 8.1 versions behave differently than the Windows 10 version.
I also understand that Edge is now using Chrome's (Chromium)'s engine and most everything is identical with a few differences including cosmetic ones.

HotCakeXHi. Unfortunately no. I uninstalled it. It was running in the background and it was almost 500 MB in size after it did its thing. I've gone back to Chrome and Firefox. I might try Opera as it's also Chromium based.
