Are you seriously claiming you need all (or even just more than like 10%) of your 1920+ pixels of screen width for your Chrome extensions?

I have a lot of chrome extensions, yes.

To the point where screen space is becoming tight? You are probably something like 0.001% of users.

Oh, I'm not missing that. Google's software offerings are now primarily designed for bad computers with bad UI, bad network, and bad energy storage. Because people love those crappy devices and most use them primarily. We both agree.

Which really doesn't matter if you're on a desktop computer with an actual monitor. The only reason to do this is more "convergence" BS and thinking phone crutches are required on desktop.

Agree to disagree, because my primary device is a multi-core desktop with a curved monitor over two feet long and I still think the URL bar takes up too much horizontal space in my browser top bar.

The problem is maybe, a widescreen is bs for most things anyway. In most applications there is so much emtpy space on the left and the right side. I use not just with monitors because of it, they are also height. 43" 4K is nice to work with.
