Thank you for this report. I'm going to address this one in the next update. I am not sure if it is a regression or missed feature, but regardless should work the way you described.

I have the same issue, but with the "system" monitor. Waiting for a fix, thanks for the good work!

I don't think the OS has anything to do with the bug. Vitals needs to make a pass through the list of enabled menu bar sensors and turn them off when a section is turned off. I will work on this for the next update.

Hey guys, i got this for a bit but after fiddling with the extension i figured out how to hide it.

First, you will need to enable "Monitor Network" again for a bit. Now when you click the toolbar, a dropdown will show up. Click the Network option and it will expand into a bunch of options, find the one that is selected and click it. That will hide it from the top bar.

You can then go back to the config and disable Network again.

It should work with any icon, just change "Network" with the one you want to hide
