Hm, yes but active usage doesnt mean it was not used?
I never thought of doing that and for sure didnt see that button in the bottom left.
Thats like removing profiles because nobody used them, while they are hidden away behind an
about:. The solution is add a button, see if it is used and then decide.Especially as the compact mode saves a lot of screen space and is likely no maintenance effort at all.
If their criteria was "at least 1 person uses it at all, sometimes" then it would not have been removed 🤔
The maintenance comes less from the code and more from making sure that every single menu added or changed in any way continues to behave correctly in three different sizes with themes and everything.
Firefox extremely reduced theming.
And as I said, nobody knows this exists because it is not promoted well, and now even hidden.
