title: "Merge Queue: Chrome Extension Quality-of-Life Updates"
description: "Automatic bot comment hiding, a skip-batching toggle, and Celebration Mode come to the Trunk for GitHub Chrome Extension."
date: "2026-05-19"
category: "Merge Queue"
---

This week's updates to the [Trunk for GitHub Chrome Extension](/merge-queue/chrome-extension) cut PR clutter and give you more control at submission time.

## New features

### Skip batching toggle

When batching is enabled for your repository, the extension's merge queue panel now includes a **Skip batching** toggle. Flip it on to enqueue a PR without grouping it into a batch — useful for hotfixes or any PR that needs to merge without waiting for a batch window. Previously, opting out of batching required the `/trunk merge --no-batch` CLI command. [Learn more](/merge-queue/chrome-extension#submit-a-pull-request-to-the-queue).

Did you really mean 'hotfixes'?

### Celebration Mode

A new optional **Celebration** setting plays a confetti burst each time you add a PR to the merge queue. Toggle it on from the extension's **Options** page. The effect respects your operating system's reduced motion preference, so nothing animates if you have **Reduce motion** enabled. [Learn more](/merge-queue/chrome-extension#frequently-asked-questions).

## Updates

### Automatic bot comment hiding

On PRs managed by Trunk, the extension now automatically hides the Trunk bot comments that prompt you to submit a PR to the merge queue. Because the extension already adds an in-page merge queue panel, those comments were redundant — hiding them cuts noise from your PR conversation without removing any queue controls. Submit, cancel, and status actions remain available through the extension panel.

Hiding only applies on PR pages where the extension overlay is active, and only to merge-queue prompt comments from the `trunk-io` and `trunk-staging-io` bot accounts. Other bot comments and non-merge-queue Trunk comments are unaffected. [Learn more](/merge-queue/chrome-extension#automatic-bot-comment-hiding).
