If too many extensions are used then the button to close the "hidden" extensions is not available
-
I am on macOS BigSur 11.5.2 and I use atleast 20-30 extensions out of which 15 I have set as hidden.
Now, if I open those hidden extensions by clicking on the expand arrow button, the extensions take up all the space and both the address bars and the "expand" arrow button itself becomes out of reach.
To solve this, I had to disable my 5-6 extensions so that the remaining don't take up much space when expanded and thus I am able to unexpand them again easily.
Solve it as soon as possible because I can't live many days with my day-to-day extensions disabled. I although won't like to switch as I just spent about half a day setting up my vivaldi browser(bookmarks, reading list links, shortcuts, extensions, all the individual extensions settings and shortcuts, moving opened tabs, moving tabs opened in incognito mode, theme and setting up custom preferences and keyboard shortcuts in vivaldi settings.)Moving to a browser and especially to vivaldi is much more tedious. It does not even place the imported bookmarks in the bookmarks bar. It just imports all bookmarks and places them in a bookmarks folder. You have to remove them one by one out of the bookmarks folder. Also all the bookmarks that were without text, they were appended with the website link. So, I had to again remove all those unnecessary links to just show the icons for them.
Just atleast fix this extensions issue ASAP because that's a requirement hundreds of times during a day while the bookmark "ignorance" issue is a one-time thing.
Solutions:
- display the extensions as a list with a pin button (just like chrome does), or
- make the extensions scrollable horizontally.
And also add a "manage extensions" button in the list or to the expand button somehow. Right now I have to either remember the extensions shortcut or right-click an extension and then click on manage extensions. Not liking this extra click really.

It happened again. I am not able to now close this extensions list. I am now forced to either remove 1-2 extensions or restart the browser. Too much frustrating.
Reported the bug just now!
