I would like to get rid of this additional volume control, but keep the functionality of muting individual tabs.

Hello! I am using Opera GX on windows.
I often watch youtube videos. These videos are often open on multiple tabs. Sometimes i press the mute button on the tab in order to not listen to a specific video. Most of the time i even close that specific tab shortly after. However the following topic will be about me not closing the tab, but selecting it, and then trying to figure out how to un-mute the video.
I noticed that i can not un-mute the media located at the muted tab using the media's controls. That is because the media is not actually muted, but the browser's tab is.
My concern with the current functionality:
I have noticed that i always need to search for the way to control volume of sound. For example i have got special keys on my claviature, i have got windows sound control thingy, i have got the hardware that i need to interact with physically, i have got the media's gauge that is located beneath the video. With the current functionality of opera gx one more way is introduced to control the volume of media. The amount of control is overwhelming already.I would like to get rid of this additional volume control, but keep the functionality of muting individual tabs.
I would like to propose the idea of the mute, and un-mute functionality of opera gx tabs to regard all the media content on the website the tab is open to rather to be able to mute individual tabs of the browser.I do not consider myself very demanding. If there is a way to somehow reduce the control wideness without feature merging, that is always good example of good interface design

@Csatangollah Opera doesn't have a volume control feature. You can mute and un-mute audio in a tab, but that's it.
