How to Hide the Mute Icon?

I really dislike the mute icon showing on a tab when it's muted. Is there a way to keep a tab muted but not show this icon? This is actually the default functionality on Chrome and I believe this is much better design.

This is because the muted tabs are usually my pinned tabs, and these tabs are small when pinned. So when I go to click them I more often than not inadvertently click the mute icon and end up unmuting it, when I actually want to select the tab. Things like Rocketchat, Emails, things I use the most but also are usually work related and would be very annoying if I had unmuted.

If there's no way I really hope this can be a option, whether to show or hide the mute icon.

PS: Btw it's important to show which tabs are making sound, but I don't think I've ever thought to myself I really wish I had sound from "x" tab, but I wonder which one is muted. If I wanted sound from a tab, I'm on it, and if I don't hear sound I check if the tab is muted, simple.
