How do I disable Chromium icon in system tray in XFCE?

  • 772

OS: Xubuntu 20.04

DE: XFCE 4.14

Package: Chromium 81.0.4044.129

How can I disable the Chromium icon in the system tray? It appears the first time I open Chromium, and remains until I shut down the PC, even if I close Chromium. It does not appear to provide any function; clicking on it does nothing with or without Chromium running.
