This change is really disappointing.  Our plan was to have two simple
single-click action buttons in our extension, and it appears this is simply
not possible with the browser actions implementation (ahem, unless we
install two extensions -- ugh!).  Am I missing something?

If there is a chance this decision would be re-visited:  Could you not make
it a user option to hide the extension toolstrip?

Thanks!

Moles don't make much sense without toolstrips, so yeah, they are
discontinued, too. Though browser actions popups are very similar to
moles. In fact, they look a little nicer.

That's true. Part of Chrome's style is that is super minimal, so we've
been trying to come up with good extensibility points that preserve
that.

Just like with Chrome itself, we're very picky :).

BTW, if you haven't yet, you should read this, which goes into a bit
more detail:
