I think the extension icons are too far apart, wasting space in the address bar

I think the size is good and doesn't need to change. google chrome is too compact and everything is so small but Microsoft Edge has bigger UI and it's good for touch screens too.
It's Not too big, just the right size.
also you don't have to keep all of the extensions visible, you can drag them to the right side menu and put them there.
