In Chrome 36, you can no longer disable the notification icon in the menu bar
- ulms 12y agoI'm confused about why this feature continues to ship enabled by default. AFAICT the de facto standard is to have users opt-in to menu bar icons unless the app is only a helper or intended to be used solely from the menu bar - at the very least, remembering whether it was enabled/disabled in flags between builds/updates would be acceptable, IMO.
- piezosomatic 12y agoThe flag has been removed but you can hide the icon by using an entry in the Chrome menu.
- maxharris 12y agoI think I was able to turn it off this way, but I had to restart my browser to get rid of it. The icon should definitely be off by default.
- ahassan 12y agoSince Chrome forked WebKit, it's been going downhill. For the past little while, with each new version of Chrome, I notice more annoyances and bugs. I recently switched back to Safari as well, and while it's not perfect, it's better than Chrome IMO.
- McDiesel 12y agoI'm confused... I've been using chrome for what seems like forever... I'm on 35 now... always OSX. Never have I seen a menu bar icon for chrome... I certainly dont have one right now and I've never disabled it...
- McDiesel 12y agoGiven the flag is references Notification Center, though... and I do get chrome notifications there... I would assume maybe if you're on an older version of OSX that chrome does this, with the lack of the notification center?
- hidamon 12y agoNo, I'm on chrome 35 on mavericks and see it. I've seen it for a long time now actually. You don't have this? http://i.imgur.com/6pFdIMG.jpg http://i.imgur.com/6pFdIMG.jpg
- McDiesel 12y agoNope. And im on a 100% fresh Mavericks install with Chrome installed yesterday and don't see it. (New job, new macbook)
