Description

We have already quickly discussed this, but creating the issue so we can track this work for the future.

Extensions view UI deserves a UI face lift. Here's some thoughts:

  • We might need a way to show extension specific msgs in there. We do not want to use notifications. Example msgs: "you have 2 deprecated extensions", "you have been using this extension happily, consider sponsoring or rating it", "this extension has an update" - Explore Extensions Management notification center #159889
  • Extension item size is too small. We should not show that many search results Extension item height could be larger #150449
  • How to show ML recommended extensions
  • Are all the details really needed? For example should we show activation time only if it is above a certain threshold?
  • Are all the menu entries really needed? Some menus got pretty complex (example filter menu) Should we surface some other action instead?
