Red dot account icon

Hello   Is it possible to remove this red dot on the account icon ?     I don't use an MS or other account, but I would like to remove this red dot which must signal a new option, I guess ...

Absolutely, but if I close and reopen Edge, the red dot reappears

Thanks

it looks like it's a way to remind the user to sync their MS account, of course this is not the case when syncing is enabled.

Best regards.

    Yeah, it would be nice to be able to disable it when we don't want to sync the account 🙂

      Yep. The red dot appears although having policies SyncDisabled:true and BrowserSignin:disabled. It should not be displayed in such situation, I guess.
      I'm using command-line option --disable-features=msShowSignInIndicator for now.

        Ok thanks, with this command do we have an option to disable this or should we always use it?
