    Took a crack at updating the project home page. Removed some of the wording, striked out the Admin Toolbar Links Access Filter submodule, added some recommended modules and removed any that were no longer maintained/needed.

    I put it in a code block so that it is a simple copy and paste, just need to remove the space at the closing code tag under 'how to install'.

    <h2>What is the Admin Toolbar module?</h2>
    
    The Admin Toolbar module intends to improve the default Toolbar (the administration menu at the top of your site) by transforming it into a drop-down menu, providing fast access to all administration pages.
    The module works with the default toolbar core module and is a light module that keeps all the toolbar functionalities.
    
    <h3>How to install Admin Toolbar module?</h3>
    
    Get the code like any other module:
    <code>composer require drupal/admin_toolbar</ code>
    
    <h3>Sub-modules</h3>
    
    <ul>
    <li><strong>Admin Toolbar Extra Tools </strong>- Adds extra links like what does Admin Menu module for Drupal 7 (flush caches, run cron, etc). <em>You must install the Admin Toolbar Extra Tools module to benefit from lots of useful links in the toolbar menu.</em></li>
    <li><strong>Admin Toolbar Search </strong>- Search box to look for administration pages.</li>
    <li><del><strong>Admin Toolbar Links Access Filter </strong>- The Admin links Access filter module that fixes the display of links user shouldn't have access to. </del>THIS SUBMODULE WILL BE REMOVED, PLEASE UNINSTALL AS IT IS NO LONGER NEEDED.</li>
    </ul>
    
    <h3>Version 3</h3>
    
    The 3.x version introduce a configuration form to limit the number of bundles to display in the drop-down menu.
    
    <h3>Development version status</h3>
    
    The development versions (-dev) are where the newest code is, such as bug fixes and new features. We try to make sure it is tested before we commit anything, but occasionally a bug will show up. Your help in testing this code is greatly appreciated. The translation templates may not always be up-to-date in the dev releases.
    
    <h3>Future of Admin Toolbar (Navigation Module)</h3>
    Admin toolbar will continue to work with core's Toolbar module. There are no plans to switch to the Navigation module.
