Selecting a tab that is playing an audio is a nightmare when you have too many tabs, you always end up muting the audio instead of selecting the tab since there is nowhere else to click since the X button to close the tab is just right beside it, and don’t get me wrong, i like the function of being able to mute the tabs, it is just that i can’t for the life of me select the tab without muting it first, maybe you guys can come with a solution like when you put your mouse on top of the tab the audio icon appears under it or something like that.

I just realized that the audio icon switches with the X icon, and the X actually vanish if the tab isn’t selected so… i was wrong in my statement, but when you have too many tabs there is still too little space to select the tab instead of muting it

THIS! I’ve had the same issue. It’s because the Mute button & the Close Tab button share the same icon space within a tab. The way I get around this issue is to have fewer tabs open. This creates more space on each tab. Then I can close some & mute others. When the tabs are too bunched together, the space is collapsed. The mute & close tab icons overlap.

It’s sooooo frustrating. Why isn’t there a minimum tab width and scrolling implemented?
You have to snipe any remaining tab space to select it without closing it… Far too tedious to be useful.
And having the close icon suddenly pop into view as you’re about to click is just plain stupid.
Not a good idea, IMHO.
The cross should be always visible and there should be a minimum tab width with a horizontal scrolling tab bar.
Or Brave should advise the user, when there is too many tabs, to open a new window.
I’ve noticed the behaviour is inconsistent or follows an esoteric pattern. Sometimes only the active tab shows a cross when I hover over it, sometimes all tabs show a cross.
Current operation is, well, janky.
