"hide in chrome menu" nonsensical for hiding extension on toolbar.

Project Member Reported by pinkerton@chromium.org, Mar 17 2016

Issue description

Version: 50.0.2661.37 beta (64-bit)
OS: osx 10.11.3

- right-click an extension in the extension bar to the right of the omnibox
- see "hide in chrome menu"

This is non-sensical, the extension isn't in a menu, it's on the toolbar. Shouldn't it say "hide on toolbar"? Where's the menu this is discussing?

ainslie@ for strings (but this'll probably be WontFix).

"Hide in chrome menu" means move the extension from the toolbar to the chrome menu, hiding/"overflowing" it.

Yah. It's a funny string. We wanted to start with something more descriptive to (try to) communicate that this was different from the "hide" behavior from before. 

In the MD world we could trying using ripple animation as well (or instead) to highlight the three dots menu temporarily following the hide click. 
Oh, now I see what it does. They appear in the hamburger menu. Curious. 

If we keep this text, note that it is incorrect. The "Chrome menu" on Mac is the application menu in the menubar (since it's very visible, called Chrome, and is a menu). The hamburger menu shouldn't be referred to as the "Chrome menu" so we need another name.

Yah. Good point. 

I think we used that after a conversation with +lpalmaro@ about what screen readers use. Maybe we should be updating both for OSX.

Alex, any other thoughts on this?  Anything we want to change in time for M50, or can I remove the ReleaseBlock?

Per #6, removing release block.
Removing RBS sounds fine to me. 

One future-looking idea: maybe we could remove the words "Chrome Menu" and use an animation to show people that this icon is moving into the the overflow. There might be some animation work that we could reuse for showing icons on top of the overflow:

ainslie@ : Removed the Needs-Feedback label and assigned to you as you are working on this, please feel free to re-assign if not the case.

This behavior is applicable to Windows as well, and Ubuntu 14.04 just shows "hide button".

Could some one look into this
@14, 15 - right now, the behavior is working as originally designed.  The question is what we want it to do, so at this point, this is more of a design question than anything else.

I too was confused by this string, and went to Manage Extensions, trying to recover an extension whose icon I had accidentally hidden.

How about "Move to the Chrome menu", or "Hide *into* Chrome menu"?

Alex, this bug is now orphaned. Can we get UX to weigh in?
