      I am using version 132.0.5905.19, and I tried VPN for a short time and I have disabled it, but the VPN icon is still present in the address bar, how can I get rid of this icon?

          I see ... can be added such an option? I mean, this icon is not needed to be there, and it is not when you install a fresh Opera ...

            Being unable to remove the VPN icon, when VPN is no being used, is a nuisance. This feature should be treated as an extension, so when it's disable the icon vanishes. Hope Opera comes up with a solution to this issue.

              I do understand why they chose this behaviour: once you enable VPN once, you want to have the VPN address bar icon as long you can enable/disable it from there.

              But another approach would be: if this feature (VPN) is not used for, let say, 10 days, to put as dissapeared. This would give the feeling as smart behaviour.

                @gcg1000 Most ppl only use Opera cause the free half (fake) VPN. (Like me)
                There are a lot smaller and faster browsers.
