Also, it'd be great if the side bar slides to the left showing the name of the extensions with a millisecond delay after one hovers on them. Similar to how facebook implements in chat bar.

At least on Windows the sidebar does show the names of the extensions when hovering (as the elements with title-attribute should) but I do agree that tooltips similar to the Facebook example would be nicer:

Not only in windows, the sidebar shows names of extensions when hovering on all platforms. I think I'll have to elaborate what I was saying. The sidebar can have more functionality and liveliness. If you use facebook with zoom more than 100%, chat sidebar just shows the profile pic of your contacts. As soon as you hover over them, the sidebar slides to the left with names of your contacts.

There also one more related issue: If you install a lot of extensions, the sidebar gets cluttered up and new ones are added to the bottom of last extension on the sidebar. If you have extensions lined up to the bottom of the screen, adding more can make them inaccessible from sidebar. I was unable to use 'extract' extension after re-installing it. And to access it, I had to remove lots of extensions that were taking up the space on the sidebar. The reason I suggest something like fb chat sidebar is that it solves two problems: 1. quickly showing the name of the extesion without having to wait for a second

  1. Provide scrolling functionality in sidebar so as to access all the installed extensions easily.
