How to remove the name icon in the new Google Chrome update

[Scuzz]

Today I noticed a slightly annoying new feature in chrome.

As you can see, next to the close, minimise and the restore down button there is a new “Name” button. This feature seems to be added so you can easily see who’s Chrome you are signed in to. It’s nice if you have multiple people signing in and out of your web browser but for me who is a single user I do not need to know that I am signed in. I am always signed in.

It looks really ugly too.

To remove it all you need to do is copy the following into your address bar and press Enter.

chrome://flags/#enable-new-avatar-menu

You can now choose to disable the new avatar menu and have your Chrome looking nice and clean once more.

On OSX, it actually looks quite good

@Almost looks kinda weird aligned to the top imo.

It’s not, I just didn’t get the whole thing.
