Is it just me or did Chrome 6.0.453.1 combine menus?

All of a sudden with nobody asking I have no "page" menu in Chrome. Just the "wrench" so that now if I want to get to extensions via the menu I have to click the wrench, then mouse down to "tools" and get a fold out menu. I hate mousing to fold out menus. I don't see any option to put the page menu back either.

Wish they would make these things optional instead of just jamming in what the programmer thinks is cool.

What makes it doubly bad is there's no hotkey listed for Extension to skip the mousing altogether. With auto update stuff just disappears on you!

edit: what makes it even worse is Speed Dial doesn't want to accept the extensions config page as a dial. So it looks like I'm forced to go through the menu mumbo jumbo. This really bites!

Looks like the only shortcut is to bookmark the Extensions config page. I tried it as a Speed Dial. No go. Even if you drag & drop the bookmark that works, onto a dial, it wont' work. Guess Speed Dial doesn't work for local pseudo urls.

I think I see where this is going. When I right click a blank spot there's only 1/2 dozen or so items in the context menu. So, it's only a matter of time until the "wrench" menu is removed and everything is globbed into the context menu. Then I'll really have to mouse hover my ass off to get anything done. Not progress. I hate ribbons and here's the logical progression why.
