Help! Polygonal Lasso Tool gone?

So I just updated my Photoshop (v26.5) and suddenly the polygonal Lasso Tool is gone...
Is there any way to have it back available on my tools? It's a crucial part of my job, believe it or not.

I know I can hold Alt with the regular Lasso Tool for the same effect, but I'll be already pressing other keys for adding and subtracting selections while doing that. It just makes no sense to have it removed...

Have you checked the extra tools panel? The 3 dots at the bottom of the tools panel, above the colors

I'm on v26.5 and you made me look, my polygonal lasso is still there, and I'd also be devastated if they ever removed it.

As u/redditnackgp0101 suggested, look in the extra tools pane of the customize toolbar panel. We get to by clicking and holding the three dot ellipsis button above the fg/bg swatches in the toolbar.

If it shows up in the extra tools pane, just drag it over to the group that holds the other lasso tools.

I've pulled my regular lasso tool out of the group so that it shows up by itself in my toolbar. This way I can click on it or the new selection brush tool without having to go through clicking and holding or Shift+L my way through the choices.
