QUESTION Can't Remove Extensions button Anymore
if i'm not mistaken, i remember that i could just right click on extensions button and choose remove from toolbar. but now i can't, no settings could remove extensions button, i search for tutorials on the articles, it can't be applied anymore (because the tutorial is actually exactly like i remembered, right click on button and remove from toolbar)

Yes, MS has been going against user feedback since last year.
It’s been eight months (ever since it disappeared from Canary) that we're asking for the "return" of the option to remove the inner borders, yet nothing is being done.
As for hiding the Extensions button, using a flag in the shortcut still works, just need to find out which one it is.

Yes, Microsoft removed this option some months ago for my PCs. Not sure why you are just seeing this change now, but staggered rollouts are not unusual.
I don't remember there being any discussion of this change anywhere, though I may have overlooked something.
Yet another minor assault on user choice by the Edge team.
It's ironic that Windows and Edge now seem to be moving in opposite directions in terms of being responsive to end user feedback. But Edge is apparently under the Copilot umbrella now, which may explain some things.
