VPN should have a right click to hide

See original GitHub issue

Test plan

On macOS and Windows only (VPN not available on Linux)

  1. Set brave://flags/#brave-vpn to ENABLED
  2. Set brave://flags/#skus-sdk to ENABLED
  3. Restart the browser
  4. Verify the VPN button shows next to Hamburger menu
  5. Right click the VPN button
  6. You should see the menu: image
  7. Pick the “Hide VPN button in toolbar” option
  8. VPN button should disappear

Description

If VPN is enabled, some users may not want to see it.

It would be great if they can right click (or ctrl+click) the VPN icon: image

And then we can have a context menu show Hide VPN button. This would do the same thing as when you go into settings and using the toggle under appearance: image
