How to Show or Hide Extension Icons in Chrome’s Toolbar

A toolbar full of extension icons gets cluttered fast. Chrome lets you control which icons show up and which stay tucked away.

How to Hide an Extension Icon

1. Click the puzzle piece icon (Extensions menu) in your toolbar.
2. Find the extension you want to hide.
3. Click the pin icon next to it to unpin it from the toolbar.

How to Show an Extension Icon Again

1. Click the puzzle piece icon in your toolbar.
2. Find the extension in the list.
3. Click the pin icon to pin it back to the toolbar.

Quick Tips

• Unpinned extensions still work normally. You just access them through the puzzle piece menu instead of a dedicated toolbar icon.
• Pinning your most-used extensions and leaving the rest unpinned is the easiest way to keep your toolbar tidy.

With a few clicks, you can keep only your favorite extensions visible and tuck the rest out of sight.
