<![CDATA[[Solved]Disable mute button on Opera tabs?]]>Anyone know how to disable that exclusively annoying mute button on tabs? I can't find any answer that works. I saw a discussion on 2016, but there's no way they haven't fixed this since, right? I mean, I can Not think of any single time I have used that feature (mostly by accident) and wasn't annoyed by it.
Same way, I can Not think of a time I have actually wanted or needed to use that feature. Most computers or Keyboards have a mute/play button. But I only use it by accident when I'm trying to switch tabs, and instead of switching tabs, I mute them and the only way to unmute them is by Precisely clicking on the same button

But please make it optional.

I mostly click the mute button by accident, and almost never use it intentionally.

And, of course, the sound indicator messing up with the X button is probably a bug that they will probably fix at some point.

I've also experienced no issues with the old icon, so it's especially annoying that it's gone.

You also couldn't disable the old one.

I was able to disable the mute button with a flag setting after it appeared with an update like 3 months ago. Can't seem to find that option now, has it been removed?

If so, I guess you can't disable it.
