## Description

Shortcuts for Google™ Products puts every Google app and service into a single, space-saving drop-down panel for instant access. The panel is fully customizable: set panel width (enter an integer 5–24 to define the number of columns), choose icon size (16–64 px), and enable individual product icons in the "Customize..." panel. Once enabled, drag and drop icons into the browser toolbar to create a personalized, fast-access launcher.

Additional details: after updates, reset the toolbar panel to see new icons (open the toolbar panel → settings icon at the bottom-left → Reset). The extension is designed for productivity and minimal UI footprint, making it easy to launch Gmail, Drive, Maps, YouTube, Calendar, and all other Google services without cluttering your toolbar.
