Give the ability to hide the profile icon
It would be great if the user profile icon could be hidden. Mainly to declutter the navigation bar

Thank you for the feedback Deleted. I will forward this feedback on to the team that own the user experience.Hello there
So it is August 29 - 2020, and still cannot hide / remove Profile Button.
Sad.
Just switched from Chrome and would also like the ability to hide the profile icon. It's not a huge annoyance, but it definitely takes up room I'd rather have for other stuff.
I just moved from Chrome, I would also like this feature.
- This is a significant problem for anyone who relies on Windows Speech Recognition. Every unused button on the screen that for some reason we are not allowed to turn off is just bait for Speech Recognition errors. It's like a decoy, drawing the computer away from what I actually want to do. And for some reason this Profile button is an especially bad one. Believe me, there are people all over America cursing you every day for this.
Xylophones are built to allow grade school music teachers to remove the unused bars which frustrate some of their students. Why on God's green earth can I not just turn off any button or bar that I am not using? What do you care? Even if I had to dig into some weird about:config screen to do it. That would be fine.
I swear, that Profile window just popped open while I was typing this. Oops, once again. If anyone still has this doubt, it is possible to "remove" it, this way it will appear to the left of the 3 dots (settings).
To do this, in the search bar type "edge://flags/" and in the option "Microsoft Edge rounded corners" and disable it. Now it should appear next to settings. "Supposedly" should be in the browser options, under "appearance", but in my case, it wasn't.As of 10/06/2024 this works, but I'm unsure if it will still be an option in the future.
[CAUTION]
As it says at the top of the page, these are experimental settings, and there may be errors.
