Do too many Chrome extensions clog your toolbar and menu? Google is working on a solution. The new Extensions menu offers a single location for all your extensions in a combined icon on the toolbar. It is available behind a flag today.

Google Chrome has the largest collection of browser extensions, and this is one of the reasons why so many developers decide to develop Chromium-based browsers.

Although the engine itself is obviously very advanced, there is no doubt that the ever-increasing number of extensions makes Chromium a very interesting platform for everyone.

To Enable the New Chrome Extension Menu

1. Open the Google Chrome web browser and type chrome://flags/ in the address bar and press Enter. The advanced configuration page opens.

2. type the toolbar menu in the Search Indicators field.

It will go directly to the following option:

Extensions Toolbar Menu
Enable a separate toolbar button and menu for extensions – Mac, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS
#extensions-toolbar-menu

3. To activate/add the Extensions button in the toolbar, select On from the drop-down list.

4. Google Chrome will ask you to restart your browser. Click on the “Restart Now” button to restart Google Chrome.

Once you have activated it, Chrome will ask you to restart it so that your changes can be activated. If you do, your entire extension will now be nested under a single puzzle piece icon. Click on it and a drop-down menu will appear with all your nested extensions below.

To use the new Chrome Extension Menu

As soon as Chrome is restarted, you will see a new puzzle extension icon to the right of the Chrome Omnibox. The toolbar and menu of your browser will be cleaned and you will find all the extensions installed here. Click on the icon to see them.

The new Chrome Extensions menu provides more information about the extensions that can access the data on the current website. There are two lists: access to data on this website and no access to data on this website.

You can control whether an extension can access your data by clicking on the menu button (the three points) to the right of it and selecting the option “This can read and modify location data”. This allows easier access to the permission control of a Chrome extension. You can limit a Chrome extension to specific websites or just run it by clicking on the icon in the menu.

However, extensions can work normally. Click on the name or icon of an extension here to use it – it’s like clicking on the extension icon in the old toolbar or menu. The extension icon even appears temporarily on your toolbar when you activate it.

Conclusion

It is very likely that Google will continue to refine the features in the coming weeks, and an option that would be useful for such a menu is a Delete button to quickly uninstall a particular extension. It remains to be seen when Google Chrome will be able to offer such an option in the stable version, but for now, it is better not to hold your breath.
