Short description
Shortcut to Chrome extensions page Manage - and group - your installed extensions
Full summary

This is a simple extension that adds a shortcut to the browser's Extensions page. When installed it will add Extensions button to the toolbar. Click the icon and you'll open the extensions tab.

There are two options available: you can set the button to open the extensions list in a new tab or in the current tab and, if you want, you can add/remove the shortcut from the context menu.

If you want to have instant access to your extensions right from your toolbar this is the tool -- fast, lightwight and efficient.

Questions & Answers

Why adding separate extension for something that needs only few clicks in the menu? -- Because with the extensions button in the toolbar you’ll do it in one click, which is much faster :)

But extensions eat system memory, isn’t it stupid to waste resources just for quick shortcut to the extensions page? -- This extension doesn’t “eat” memory. Technically, it uses non-persistent background page, which means Chrome doesn’t need to reserve memory for the extensions (check the Chrome Task Manager to see for yourself: when you click on the extensions icon it will start the extension, open the extensions page and release the memory used seconds after that)

Manage all of your extensions in a new and simpler way!

Simply open and click the 'ME' icon from chrome and you'll see every single one of your installed extensions (Even those from else where than the chrome web store), from here you can enable, disable show info and group the extensions!

How do I group? Simply click a couple of extensions (They'll be highlighted with a green colour) and click on a group name (The one you want to add them to), and, just like magic, they'll be in the group! Simple..!

Well, how do I remove extensions from a group? Just as adding, this is very, very simple (Pretty much the same as adding). Start by clicking on the group you want to remove extensions from, then click on a couple of extensions (Preferably the ones you want removed), and click the group name (The one you're currently in) and bam! They're gone!

This is useful if you have got quite a few extensions installed and you don't want them all active at the same time, but rather in groups depending on what you're doing in that particular moment.
