In response to the idea about an extension that allows you to see the rest of the extension browser actions, what if it looked something like Chrome OS's Menu?
Here's what I mean: Go here: http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/user-experience and look under Screenshots. What if there was a browser action similar to the menu button, so when you click it, the rest of the browser actions show up in a nice, elegant grid? I'll post this message to the browser overflow issue (issue 23267). Let me know what you guys think. -Graeme On Nov 24, 8:54 am, JamesW <jamesrwago...@gmail.com> wrote: > Can an extension be written that is used to group extensions into a > single popup(somewhat like a tab on the browser)?
