Chromium team has been working on a redesign of the extension Toolbar for some time now, with this feature, you can able to drag and drop browser action extension icons inside the Chrome menu on top and vice versa. Now what happens when you actually hide an extension icon, it will move to menu. If you want to bring it back to the toolbar, open the menu, right click on that icon and select ‘show button’.
