Unfortunately the extensions-toolbar-menu flag has been removed in Chromium 87.0.4280.66, so it's no longer possible to disable the extensions toolbar menu and have the extension icons at the top of the regular Chrome menu.

edit: Thanks for finding a solution, Brink!

Tutorial now updated to work again.

Thank you @Edwin.

Two questions about implementing the --enable-features=ExtensionsToolbarMenu parameter in Edge v87 (v87 Edge does not have a flag to enable or disable).....
1. I modified the Edge shortcuts on the Tasbar and Start Menu, both with the --enable-features=ExtensionsToolbarMenu parameter. Are there any other shortcuts to modify?
2. If I launch Edge using the modified taskbar/start menu shortcuts, the extension menu appears. However, if I launch Edge from an internet shortcut saved to a directory, the extension menu does NOT appear. How do I make the extension menu appear in Edge when launching from URL files/internet shortcuts saved to a folder?

Thanks!

Hello,

You can add --enable-features=ExtensionsToolbarMenu to the end of the shortcut like below.

"%ProgramFiles%\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" https://www.tenforums.com -new-window --enable-features=ExtensionsToolbarMenu

Good afternoon @Brink!

In the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\ folder, there is no shortcut file, only msedge.exe .

I cannot modify the target of the exe file and I cannot create a shortcut in that folder. What should I do now?

Thanks!

@Brink
I should probably clarify what I am asking....

I have many folders with saved bookmark files. They are Internet Shortcut files, either URL or IE.AssocFile.URL files generated by saving bookmarks from Chrome, Internet Explorer or Edge to folders as actual files. So when I execute those bookmark files, Edge launches without extension menu. It seems that the URL, internet shortcut and IE.AssocFile.URL files launch in Edge without the extension menu parameter loading. How do I get saved bookmark files to open in Edge while passing the target parameters?

Does that help?

Thanks!

Any favorite you open within the same Microsoft Edge window you have this enabled on will still show it.

This below with your own URL should work for Microsoft Edge with 64-bit Windows 10.
