Profile avatar button is seen from M50 [50.0.2661.0]. If you have only one profile then you can see only avatar icon. If we have more than one person we see profile name on it.

As per comment#0 expected behaviour is removal of button. This is working as Intended and we can't remove profile button as per design.

@Reporter:  Please check and let us know what is the expected behaviour.

Thanks!

Thank you, but I'm afraid that I don't understand a word of these two comments.  I'm old and I was a literature major.

However, I can tell you that I have only one profile an see only one avatar button.  I changed it so that instead of seeing my name, I now see a colon.  I chose a colon instead of a period because it resembles the three vertical dots I see used as a Settings menu.

I've resigned myself to having this annoying little box taking up space and simply hope that it will disappear by itself.  

Thank you for providing more feedback. Adding requester "sc00335628@techmahindra.com" to the cc list and removing "Needs-Feedback" label.

can you take a picture of this button? And also, can you take a picture of the menu when you click on that button?

Thanks,

Hi there! The bug you linked is about an issue where the profile chip (what you're calling the "name button") overlapped with the window controls (minimize, maximize, and close). It wasn't about providing the ability to remove that button completely.

We do not provide any controls or settings for completely removing the profile chip. Setting it to be a single character (or even an emoji!) is a good workaround if you want the profile chip to be as unobtrusive as possible.

You can follow up on Issue 571589 as well, which is also about hiding/removing the profile chip.

Thank you, all.  Sorry that I'm just answering today.  I only check gmail once in a while.

I am now used to my colon symbol taking up the space and have stopped thinking about it.  It doesn't drive me crazy enough to send me back to Firefox.  

Thanks again.
