Is there a way to remove the (i) icon in the far left of the URL box (next to the SSL padlock)? I don't know what it is, but it's driving me crazy! Haha

Thanks in advance!

Hi JayTheUnsavvyLad, there is no built-in way to remove the i-in-a-circle icon. It can be hidden using custom style rules in a userChrome.css file. However, you might want to hide it only for secure sites where you have a lock icon. Otherwise, you would have difficulty using the Site Information panel that drops down from clicking an icon in that area.

A good place to get help with custom style rules is:

And I created a website about userChrome.css files in general that could be a good background resource: https://www.userchrome.org/

You can consider to hide only the EV label that can take a lot of space and only show this label when you hover to 'i' button with code in userChrome.css if that is the main reason .
