As we know in the past only extension that has "browser_action:default_icon" in its manifest file was displayed on the Chrome toolbar. But recently, Google Chrome displays icons of all the extensions on its toolbar even if I install old version of the browser. How to disable this feature even removing it from the Chrome source code? I don't mean how to hide the icons by moving them from the toolbar to the Chrome menu. I mean how to remove this feature at all or at least hide unwanted icons both on the toolbar and the menu?

UPDATE 28/11/2017: The question is still actual. Does anyone know where is the line(s) in resource.pak or another file showing extension icons in Chrome toolbar AND Chrome menu?

We are talking about it here:

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=597657 and an older discussion: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=397259

The security reasoning is very weak imho...

Here's the bugtrack which removed the old code: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=590321
