    You can drag the extension bar to the right to have the UI create a drop down link of your installed extension. You could also just right click and choose hide extension

Then your icons will be collapsed:

  • Is it possible to put them in something like a dropdown menu? It would be a hassle to have to re-show the button each time I want to use an extension.

  • Found this useful for enabling and disbaling extensions in a few clicks, without the need to visit chrome://extensions -- chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/extension-switch/…
