TL;DR

Google is testing a new feature that will make extensions easier to spot after installing.

The feature is a toggle that activates automatic pinning of new extensions to the toolbar.

The toggle is being tested in Chrome Canary.

When you install new extensions in Chrome, it’s easy to forget about them. That’s because they always end up hidden in the extensions menu right after installation. Some will even take you to an onboarding page after installation to remind you to pin the extension’s button to your toolbar so you don’t forget. A new feature found in Chrome Canary may help solve this problem.

Spotted by Windows Report , Google is testing a new toggle in Chrome Canary. This toggle will allow you to enable or disable automatic extension pinning in the browser. The feature has reportedly been in development since March, but the underlying code is now there in Chrome Canary.
