How do i fix it??
You can’t, unless you fiddle with Chrome’s source code (take a look at the Chromium project).

Google Chrome really should let you know of these kinds of changes to the interface.
So… no more globe icon, right?
It all depends on Google! Unless you don’t want to fiddle with the Chromium source…
This is exactly the information I was looking for. I thought I was going crazy. Thanks!
