      This "feature" is reminiscent of Opera 12 where browsing and private browsing tabs could be in the same window, and the glasses-hat icon was used to distinguish between the two. Now though, private browsing has its own window, so there's no need for the icon as it makes browsing annoyingly harder; the icons displayed should be the icon of the website. I don't want to opt out of a browsing app with good potential just because of an icon. I'll still use incognito, I'm a pretty private guy, y'know? At least add the option to switch the icons.

      Also the option to remove the keyboard clicking noises.

        Hello, I agree with this request. The Incognito Mode with that glasses-hat icon makes harder the navigation between tabs. In contrast with other Chromium browsers, like Google Chrome; they don't have that icon to indicate the Incognito mode.
        On the other hand, the keyboard noises can be deactivated just by doing this:
        Go to Settings>Basic configuration>Browser's sounds>And you should have this: (ignore the language)
        a.png
        Move the rhombus symbol to the left in the sounds you don't want to hear. That's all.

            I'd like to bump this, as this is quite important to me as well. I often have many tabs open in my incognito windows, and not seeing the favicons complicates the navigation unnecessarily.
