Can I hide my extension's icon by default?

Solution

If you don't want an icon, you can omit the `browser_action` parameter from your `manifest.json` (the `default_icon` option is where you usually specify the icon). The `browser_action` section is what controls what you see in the toolbar.

Problem

My Chrome extension doesn't need an icon - it's a one-liner extension that doesn't want to take up space on your extension bar. How can I hide the icon by default?
