Hide Chrome Profile Management Menu

Note: This used to be called the Chrome Avatar Menu

1. Enter address: chrome://flags
2. 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"
3. Change from "Default" to "Disabled"
4. 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.
