Hi @JtheBAB,

You could use this style rule instead:

<style>
.tri-layout-right-contents a[href$="/delete"] + hr, .tri-layout-right-contents .actions hr + .dropdown-container {display: none;}
</style>

Will cause an empty "Actions" list to be left for public viewers. Can't currently think of a way to remove that with only CSS as it stands.

I'll close this since the above has been provided and since this is technically not a supported feature.
