How to Pin Extensions to the Chrome Toolbar

This tip was created thanks to a question from Stanley. He asked how to add (pin) Chrome extensions to the Chrome toolbar. 

And here is the answer…

1.) First, click on the “Extensions” icon on the Chrome toolbar to open a list of installed extensions.

2.) Notice the “Pins” next to each extension’s name? Pins that are filled in are those already pinned to the Chrome toolbar. The Pins not filled in (just outlines) are not showing on the Chrome toolbar (not pinned).
