<![CDATA[New Button in Toolbar - How to Remove]]>Hi, I have just upgraded from Opera 70 to Opera 71 and there is now a new button on the top toolbar - Extensions.

I do not want this button there but I cannot find any way to remove it.

Please advise how to remove this unwanted button.

launcher --flag-switches-begin --disable-features=ExtensionsToolbarMenu --flag-switches-end

just for kicks, but it doesn't work.

I see the flag is gone in Chrome Canary (even with unexpiring expired flags), but:

chrome --flag-switches-begin --disable-features=ExtensionsToolbarMenu --flag-switches-end

still works at the moment.

So, it looks like everyone will just have to get used to it.

I agree completely.

Unfortunately this extensions button includes functionality (pin/unpin extension buttons), which is not present in other places (at least not in O72), thereby it is sometimes needed. I would vouch for restoring old functionality and removing this button - seems however, that Opera team is not interested in such kind of suggestions 😞

That is prime real estate that they are stealing! I have a button on my sidebar and that is the only place I want it. I put other things in that space.

I know this button is a very minor thing but I hate it when something is imposed - I liked it the way it was and I have had a change I did not want forced on me. That is not nice - at least give me the option to remove it, like the weather widget. It's rather authoritarian.

Now in the Opera there is no way to remove this button.
