Apple - How do I remove the Google Chrome notifications bell icon from the Mac OS X menu bar?

edit: The option described below has been removed from Chrome. This should void the question as well as my answer.

Old answer:

In the Chrome Menu Bar under "Chrome -> Hide Notification Icon" you can get rid of the bell without having to go through flags (which doesn't work/exist any more!). It's the Option one from the bottom (I found the information in a comment on osxdaily):

Google has buried this option in a very hard-to-find location.

  1. Visit chrome://flags/#enable-google-now in Chrome.app
  2. Visit chrome://flags/#notification-center-tray-behavior in Chrome.app
  3. Change both settings to Disabled. (They're probably on Default currently.)

(NOTE: this used to be chrome://flags/#enable-rich-notifications)


This seems to have changed to

chrome://flags/#enable-google-now

I would make a comment instead of a new answer but I require 50 rep for that.
