Hide/disable the favorites bar programmatically for new tab windows

Is there a way to automatically hide/disable the favorites bar programmatically on startup with flags, selenium or other way? I know that from the options it can be disabled but when it is started with selenium the setting will be ignored and it will reappear.

    bnagy It always hides the icon if you do my steps via Settings (I think options, as you call it)

    1. Type edge://settings in your search bar
    2. Go to Appearance
    3. Scroll down to "Customize Toolbar"
    4. Turn off "Show favorites button"

      Kammy problem is not related to the favorite button, I have issues with the favorite bar, I know I can disable from the settings, but when I open edge with selenium it will reappear and it will change the page sizes(please find the attached picture). This is why I want to disable it via selenium or command line argument or somehow programmatically.

        Somehow? Ok, Edge should have a coding studio or something.
