Dislike the user profile icon in Google Chrome browser? This is how you can delete the profile icon in Google Chrome.

User profile in Google Chrome

When it comes to browsers, Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers like Edge Chromium are the king in terms of market share, compatibility with web technologies and many other features.

One of the most useful features of Chrome and Edge Chromium is that you can create different user profiles. Each user profile runs independently of other profiles, so you don't have to share your browsing data or extensions with other users. You can even log in to your Google or Microsoft account to sync browser data between devices.

When you create a new user profile in Chrome, the browser adds a profile icon next to the address bar and right before the Menu icon . This makes it easy for you to define user profiles and switch to another profile if needed. In general, user profile icons are entered directly from your Google account, if you're already logged in. If you are not logged in, a random image will be selected from the menu.

If you don't like having the user profile icon appear in Chrome, you can remove it.

Note : The fact that Google has removed the option to delete the profile icon. So all you can do is make this icon less visible.
