Remove Chrome Network timeline
Solution 1
"Show overview" Button Toggles the network timeline, a screenshot may helps:
Edit: Thanks for xypha's comment, the screenshot was taken at Chrome Version 52.0.2743.116 m
Update (August 2019)
From Version 76.x.xxxx.xxx, use antanta's solution :
... via settings cog on the right -> uncheck Show overview.
Solution 2
If you are just trying to remove the very top part of the timeline, then you just need to click the icon with the four blocks on it, to the left of the 'Options:' text.
That will just leave the request rows left - which you can have in small or large format by toggling the request rows button (directly to the right of 'View:')
I don't think that you can remove the Network module itself as it's an integral part of the Chrome Developer tool.
HTH
Solution 3
For all who use Version 76.0.3809.87 of Chrome - the way to hide this timeline is via settings cog on the right -> uncheck Show overview.
The button with the bars is no longer there starting with this version.

Does anyone know of a way to remove this?
Currently Chrome Version 43.0.2357.130 m but other versions accepted as well.
I've looked through all of the settings to no avail.
If you want to know why I want it removed; it takes up too much space.

Michael almost 6 yearsThanks, this has always driven me nut, in part because sometimes the timeline shows up and sometimes it doesn't, without any apparent rhyme or reason!

Joseph Lennox about 5 yearsTo any Chrome UX developers reading this: I presumed these two icons were inclusive. That is, one made the list text large, the other made the list text small. Even after using the UI I assumed this. It's not clear they're two exclusive toggles.

MonkeyZeus almost 4 yearsThank you for providing the updated mechanism for fixing my issue. My Chrome was updated to version 84 this morning and they forced "Show Overview" to be checked irrespective of the fact that it was unchecked before the update. I had to refer back to this post to see if I was going crazy, hah
