System Information
Operating system: Linux-5.4.0-91-generic-x86_64-with-glibc2.31 64 Bits
Graphics card: Quadro GP100/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 460.91.03

Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.1.0 Alpha, branch: master, commit date: 2022-01-17 07:12, hash: e1e3043a51
Worked: Blender 2.92

Short description of error
This is regression I noticed for the Extrude Tool in the toolbar. The default setting it uses is "Normal" but it can also be set to "XZY".
In that case it will get a different gizmo. After extruding at least once an additional gizmo will appear to adjust the most recent extrusion.
Blender 2.92 is the last release where it would actually adjust the location of the extruded element along the same direction the extrude operation used. (For example along the x-axis after extruding along the x-axis)
In the recent Blender version it will always move along the original normal direction, regardless of the settings used or the direction that the extrude operation happened.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Go into edit mode
Make the Extrude tool active in the toolbar
Switch the setting to XYZ in the tool settings
Extrude a face along the x-axis using the gizmo
Use the yellow arrow gizmo to adjust the position of the face
