Don't like the user profile icon in the Google Chrome browser? Here's how you can remove the profile icon in Google Chrome.
When it comes to browsers, Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers like Edge Chromium are the kings in terms of market share, compatibility with various web technologies, and 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 that you don't have to share your browsing data or extensions with the other users. You can even sign in to your Google or Microsoft account to sync browser data between devices.
When you create a new user profile in Chrome, the browser will add a profile icon next to the address bar and right before the Menu icon. This makes it so that you can easily identify the user profile and switch to a different profile if need be. Generally, the user profile icon is imported directly from your Google account, if you are signed in. If you are not signed in, a random image will be chosen from the catalog.
