How to hide Chrome user profile icon in toolbar

Solution 1:

Update: As of Google Chrome v71.x, this method no longer works.

There is seemingly no official way to remove the People button.

However, as a workaround for Chrome 69.x, you can revert to the previous style that displays your name in the upper-right corner using a Chrome flag. However, keep in mind that these flags are highly experimental; they may stop working or change at any time without notice.

To revert to the previous UI style:

1. In a new tab, visit chrome://flags/#top-chrome-md
2. For the option UI Layout for the browser's top chrome, select Normal from the dropdown list
3. At the bottom of the page, click the Relaunch Now. button

Solution 2:

You can't hide it, but you can prevent it from showing your profile picture. Click on your profile pic and hit "Open Guest Window". Helpful when you're shooting a video...
