Extension Icon Behavior in 3.1 RC
-
So I noticed a change in extension icon behavior with the RC versions. I have the Country Flag & IP WhoIs extension loaded in my browser, and in the stable release, it shows inside of the address bar. In the RC versions, it is now moved over to the rest of the extension icons. Was this a deliberate change, or was it forced upstream from Chromium? Image below shows what it looks like in Stable.
Below is the the look with RC2:
-
@PacketHauler I also had an extension (vanilla cookie manager) moved from urlfield to toolbar.
It might besomething changed by chromiumbut I can't be sure so it worth to be reported. -
@Gwen-Dragon Bummer. I liked that look.

This was a chrome feature? I've never before seen that behavior in chrome (using the same extensions), and it's one of the things I really liked about Vivaldi. A feature that saved me from needing to have a small url bar because some extensions show info through icons.
And you might scoff at it, but it's one of the few features that keep me using Vivaldi. Can we hope to see this return?

It did used to behave that way at one time. I can't remember the exact version it was though.
However, Firefox still has the behavior.

Good to note, thank you. Even though Firefox is my main, I kinda forgot about it
It's a lot more noticeable that Vivaldi is missing it as I normally use that as my second browser, and have it sitting on a monitor that's in profile, so width space is at a premium.Hmm, maybe I should use a dev branch of firefox as a secondary. Wanted something chromium though cause some sites are just made for it.

@ryonez I have the same setup. I use both browsers pretty regularly. I do run Firefox Nightly though, because I'm not afraid of bugs, and bug reporting. Nightly is pretty fast to be honest.
