Some other topics I have perused suggest that the menu bar has been abandoned, but perhaps someone knows of an extension that adds it back in?

I am also wondering whether it is possible to remove the grey bar in the speed dial with "speed dial" "bookmarks" "discover" "tabs" "history" in it, as well as the tiny little search in the upper right corner(I have already disabled the large search bar with power settings)

oh and if anyone knows an extension to put tabs underneath the search bar that would also be greatly appreciated
