Hide Chrome Profile Management Menu
Note: This used to be called the Chrome Avatar Menu
- Enter address: chrome://flags
- Search for "enable-new-profile-management": chrome://flags/#enable-new-profile-management
- "Enable new profile management system: Mac, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS, Android - Enables the new profile management system, including profile lock and the new avatar menu UI. #enable-new-profile-management"
- Change from "Default" to "Disabled"
- Click "Relaunch Now"
There is a known bug that causes the "Disabled" to be ignored. In the mean time one can always add '--disable-new-avatar-menu" to the Chrome shortcut link, which still works.
