    Currently, Orion only support display enabled extension icon one by one in Toolbar, or hide them by removing them in "Customize Toobar", if user want to use some hidden extension button they will have to add them back to Toolbar first. This works similar to Safari, but it would be nice if there could be a way to add extension icons to a folded button like most Chrome-like browser, which will make extension organizing more convenient.

        I also suggest an hide all extensions "menu" like chrome

        where once clicked you will se all your installed extensions

        and then you can pin to show that extension in the toolbar.

          fed9 We are likely to use Firefox implementation which is more versatile (allows hiding any buttons not just extensions)

            I really like the current design at the moment of customising the toolbar, as it falls in line with Apple's design guidelines like their other apps.
            Would it be feasible to just add a simple item in this grid, that you can drag to the toolbar, that expands some sort of drop down list with all the extensions configured to be in the overflow?

              While I only keep my most frequently used extensions visible in my browsers, it is really handy to have all the rest available just one click away for quick access.

              Brave has a great implementation of this. In the screenshot below, you'll see I have Metamask, Dark Reader & a Volume Booster pinned to the toolbar itself, but the extension dropdown right next to them lets me access all the others instantly in case I need to without any extra work.

                FYI, this is the default chromium implemention. For Orion, the best idea is to add an extensions menu bar item, then have a way to toggle them from there.

                  eirk I figured there should be something like that when I clicked Customize Toolbar, but I don't see anything related to Extensions.

                      Yeah, there isn't something like that right now. There are only individual extensions when you click Customize Toolbar. I was saying that as an idea for the developers to implement.

                          It's really great to have Chrome/Chromium extensions with Webkit! LOVE IT!!!!!

                          It would be helpful, however, to have a way to hide certain extensions that are not needed to be seen all of the time like Chrome is doing. I have about 25 extensions that I use rather regularly and about 15 of those should be hidden as they work in the background generally. An example of such extensions are:

                          You get the idea... These are either extensions that are either passive and work automatically or used infrequently and therefore don't need to be clicked on routinely and muck up the UI.

                            Just drag them out of the toolbar

                                This is quite nice, thanks @Vlad! One thing I might suggest is that instead of having the overflow dots (ellipses) AND the "Manage Extensions" buttons, put an option at the bottom of the overflow dropdown that says "Manage extensions..." in order to allow the user to have a more compact method for getting into manage extensions and thus taking up less space. This will just simply clean it up slightly.
