New Extension button - hate it, and behaviour is (I hope) broken
So my Dev - but not Canary - just suddenly developed an Extensions button in the toolbar out of nowhere (I was checking for updates, but there hasn't been one yet). It's kind of like the new one in G...
For a user with a fair number of extensions, this might just be OK if it was either changed to be, or changed so that there were options to make it ,more like Firefox's toolbar overflow menu. It would need ALL of (i) hide buttons from the dropdown that are openly on the toolbar, (ii) hide buttons for buttons that don't actually have a function on press (the ones currently greyed out in the dropdown0, and (iii) the ability to re-order the (remaining visible after I and Ii) buttons in the dropdown.
Mind you, still not happy at an extra system toolbar button. Edge's buttons take up so much more horizontal room than Firefox's or Chrome's. Ten extension buttons in Edge is about as many as I can have with a just acceptably short URL bar still visible. In Firefox I have 13 on the toolbar (and 13 in the overflow menu) and still have a much longer URL bar visible.

I have a different opinion about that, I think it's normal in the Dev channel and it's not that bad.
if there are too many extension icons in the toolbar, toggle them to appear in the extension menu.
one icon is better than 10 icons.
this is not a half baked idea, Chrome already did it and passed the tests.
