Ungoogled-chromium: Hide 'Current user' button next to the address bar

[sgtpep]

Is that possible to hide this button, that allows to sing in the Google account, for those who uses Chromium without singing it to it?

It doesn't look like there's any configuration flag for it. I think the only way is to modify the source code.

@sgtpep Is this what you're asking for?

It is added by patches/extra/ungoogled-chromium/add-flag-to-show-avatar-button.patch

[sgtpep]

@PF4Public Exactly what I needed. Thank you so much!

[Eloston]

Huh.

[PF4Public]

Come to think of it, could we / should we probably change the name of this flag and reword its description, so that its purpose would be clearer and more obvious, for it to be easier to find? I do use this flag, which is obvious from a screenshot above, but if I didn't, I likely wouldn't be searching for an "avatar" or "button", I would have been searching for an "account", "user", "profile" etc.

The upstream calls it "avatar toolbar button".

[PF4Public]

And we may call it whatever we want:

I'd be okay with adding to the title and description. The flag name itself should remain since it's more of a technical detail.

The flag name itself should remain since it's more of a technical detail.

Good point, some people might be already using it and changing the flag name will break this functionality for them.

I'll do a PR soon.
