How to get "Pocket" and "Star" Symbols Out of Address Bar?

Post by BuddhaNature »

The Address Bar has three symbols in the right-hand side of it now:

(1) The 'three periods" symbol ". . ."
(2) The "Save to Pocket" symbol
(3) The "Star" symbol (Bookmark this page or Edit this bookmark)

Is it possible for the user to get rid of the Pocket and Star symbols? Given that the 'three periods' symbol gives the options to 'save to pocket' and 'edit or save the bookmark' it seems to me that the Pocket and Star symbols are just taking up space that could more useful be used by showing the full address in the Address Bar.

I tried seeing if there was a way to do this in (Menu) View > Toolbars > Customise... but there seems to be nothing there that allows the user to get those symbols out of the Address Bar. Those symbols don't even appear in the Customise page so I can't get rid of them from within that interface. ](*,) Does anyone know how to do this?

Did you right-click on the pocket icon or star icon?

Yipee! That Worked! Thank you, flaneurb! :D

Just for reference is there now a way to put them back there? I don't see any obvious way to do this now.

Okay, I found out how to get them back if needs be.

(1) Left-click on the "three periods" icon.
(2) In the dropdown menu the Pocket and Star icons are shown. Right-click on either one of them and select "Add to Address Bar".
(3) Done!

Thanks again, flaneurb. =D>
