8 years ago Apparently this is part of the new UI update mentioned here
However it doesn't seem to work as described. Even when explicitly calling chrome.pageAction.hide(tabId). I have posted on their dev forums here
For now the workaround is to either show the icon in your toolbar constantly (it won't grey out) or explicitly check your hamburger menu. Sorry about that
Network requests are still happening, but not showing up in title bar. Seems to have broke when chrome required all extensions to show themselves with their new security update. Maybe an API has changed
