Restarted Chrome and the old profile avatar in upper left corner was gone.With constant use of multiple profiles for various testing etc. I have grown custom to quickly recognize which profile I am on by looking at upper left corner. It is also a quick way to bring various opened profiles to front (as all icons on alt+tab etc. are equal).The new version: name in upper right corner with a multilayer navigation and a lot of extra information. Sure good for some, but not for me.How to revert?
Revert to old Chrome profile icon / avatar upper left corner
chrome
To find version go to chrome://chrome in Google-Chrome, or say:$ google-chrome --versionVersion < 43 ]At least for now, go to:chrome://flags/#enable-new-avatar-menuSelect Disabled and restart browser.Version [ 44, 46.0.2490.??]As for version 44 to 46.0.?* the above tweak does not work. But  add --disable-new-avatar-menu to startup:$ google-chrome --disable-new-avatar-menuVersion [ 46.0.2490.71 >As of now they have removed this option as well. If one use the --disable-new-avatar-menu option the profile-icon/avatar is present, but the drop down menu is gone. As a quirk the profile-selection page (where one can launch another profile):chrome://user-manager/is disabled as well.Yes. One can right-click the profile-name to get a quick switch to other profile, but avatar is gone. Have to see it there is a way to hack it.
