Dev channel update to 91.0.852.0 is live
Still nothing done re. the UI for extension buttons set not visible on the toolbar with the toolbar Extensions button vs the old UI, so I continue to find desktop Edge unusable. The Extensions button dropdown, one extension per line, including the ones visible on the toolbar in the list and only listed alphabetically by name is just far too cumbersome for the number of extensions I have where I need to click on many of them frequently. And as a lightweight extension management pane it is missing the one thing I'd use that for, which would be enabling/disabling extensions, rather then the visible/not-visible and uninstall options that are the only controls offered. I need a UI for extensions that are NOT visible on the toolbar that shows ONLY the ones not visible on the toolbar in a compact view showing at least 20 or 30 all visible together and quick to reach, and which can be re-ordered as the ones in the tollbar can be. Like you used to have at the top of the More menu, though it doesn't have to be located there. And also changes in the Extensions button to allow this including disabling the Extensions button NOT changing the visibility-in-toolbar status of each extension but actually hiding the Extensions button itself (matching disabling the toolbar favorites, history and downloads buttons), plus adding enable-disable extension controls.
Unless this is addressed I simply cannot use Edge to browse or recommend it as a browser. For me you completely crippled its usability when you removed the toolbar overflow area at the top of the More menu. I can't believe any of the dev theme use more than about 10 extensions of the type that need right or left clicking on frequently, or this wouldn't have happened the way it did. I currently have 27 extensions installed, and to use Edge as my regular browser I'd be adding more. With only space on the tollbar for about 10, I need a GOOD UI for around 17 more extension buttons over and above the 10 I have visible on the toolbar - and it'd be more than 17 for me to use Edge seriously. GOOD UI in this respect means all those 17+ not visible on the toolbar should be very easy and quick to access. They were. Now they're not.
