Windows – What does this Chrome icon mean

google-chromewindows 8windows 8.1

Since today my Chrome browser has a pizza slice on its icon on the taskbar.

enter image description here

I just restarted my PC without exiting Chrome. So its been forced to quit by the Windows system. After the restart I had to press the button to recover my tabs. So now everything is the same as before, except that Chrome makes me hungry now.

What is the meaning of the pizza slice in Chrome?

I've read that this is connected to user profiles, but then I don't understand why it's appearing now as I'm using my profile for a long time.

BTW I guess its a Pizza Special. Cheese, white mushrooms, salami and ham. I don't even like salami.

  • Go to Settings in Google Chrome
    If you don't know where they are, you can just paste this into the search bar:

chrome://settings/

  • Look for the "People" section

  • There you'll find the current users as well as buttons for add, remove, or edit

(You could add your own profile with your own icon.

Just remove/delete the other user(s) and/or uncheck the box that says "let anyone add a person to Chrome"

Or you could keep the user and just edit the information for it.)

Hope this helps :)

Try this then:

  • chrome://flags/#enable-new-avatar-menu

  • Select Disabled and restart browser.

Your Google+ picture shows because you've linked your Google+ account with your Chrome account. That's what I have showing right now. You can edit that though if you don't like it by going to:

Settings>People>Click on your user>Edit> And just choose the image you want.
