Description

Switching from Firefox to Brave, there's such excessive padding / spacing between the items on the bookmark toolbar that you can't see nearly as many items (an identical list of items which fits easily in Firefox - with room to spare - gets cut off in Brave).

This has been asked many times, going back at least 3.5 years:

Since I didn't see an official request here on Github, posting an issue in hopes that it's an easy solve. It's quite impactful to have half of one's bookmark toolbar be just unusable padding, rather than dense & useful shortcuts.

I'm pleased that this is being looked at, but please note that it's an issue on Windows, too.
