Extensions should not be allowed to occupy more than 50% of screen width |
|||
Issue descriptionChrome Version: 69 OS: All desktop What steps will reproduce the problem? (1) Install a billion extensions. What is the expected result? I can still see the URL bar. What happens instead? I can only see a tiny fraction of the URL bar. See screenshot. Extensions can be hidden in an overflow menu by dragging the invisible and tiny handle between the URL bar and extensions bar over to the right. But this is highly non-discoverable and many users will just keep using a very tiny URL bar, which is a security risk if they can't see the origin. The extensions should simply not be allowed to occupy more than 50% of the width. This is somewhat of a regression in M69, since the spacing between icons drastically increased. (Turning off flag #top-chrome-md shows considerably more space given to the URL bar.)

Manuk actually submitted a fix for this in https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=849784#c42 Manuk, can you triage? Is the fix not working, or is the min-width just too small?

For issue crbug.com/849784 , we changed the minimum width of omnibox from ~10 to ~20 characters; this is working. The screenshot in #c1 has 32 chars. At 20 chars, it will look like "https://bugs.chromiu...". We could further increase the minimum size if 20 isn't enough. We can increase it until ~30 while remaining less than the browser's minimum width, but at that point, all extensions would overflow to the menu. Perhaps there's alternate approaches, e.g. increasing the discoverability of the ability to resize the omnibox. |
