Tab favicons are too small with these dumb circles. Eg: [image] This forum topic suggests there’s a flag brave://flags/#memory-saver-discarded-tab-treatment but this flag has disappeared in newly upgraded version: 1.64.109 Any ideas? The quantity of forum topics about this suggests these circles …

My other computer just got updated to Chrome 127, and it has the option we’re looking for. It’s just directly in the settings, right below the memory saver options. [image] It does not make the icons any smaller. It just stops changing the icon at all if the tab is unloaded. All I ask is that yo…

Flag exists on another machine of mine running Brave 1.63.174, but downgrading to it doesn’t reinstate. Must be some other underlying expiry of this flag that has kicked in.

“downgrading to it doesn’t reinstate” - I don’t think I downgraded correctly. I just tried again, uninstalled 1.64.109 and installed 1.63.174 using: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases/download/v1.63.174/BraveBrowserStandaloneSetup.exe and brave://flags/#memory-saver-discarded-tab-trea…

“Wonder if there’s a way to prevent…”. On Windows can disable the Brave Update Service. Brave still nags you to update on exit, choose no. Set a reminder in some months to re-enable this service, hopefully by then there’ll be a proper way to remove these janky inactive circles.

I’m from the other thread-- I don’t want circles, I want visible favicos. :frowning:

At firs: I would never recommend disabling the automatic update service. Instead, talk to people here in the forum, maybe you and others can make a change for the next update. Back to topic: Can you try to update your browser to the newest version? On my machine, I use a Fedora Linux 39 with br…

They’re probably not inactive @LxWulf . Don’t touch Brave for a couple of hours and you’ll see them unless you have brave://flags/#memory-saver-discarded-tab-treatment disabled.

Okay, I can confirm this. Despite that, I don’t see that big of a problem here, also there is already a solution to it if you disable the memory function. You don’t need to set the flag. Go to brave settings → System (No.1) and then the last entry you see, is the Perfomance settings. For sure, yo…

[image] LxWulf: You don’t need to set the flag… disable the Memory Saver I admire your positivity LxWulf, but we aren’t all blessed with an abundance of memory, or a rigorous discipline to avoid using many tabs.

Thank you. :blush: I do understand. Despite, I do not have any hope that this changes soon, but you can still move your post to the Feature Request section here or create a new one there. Steps if you want to move your post: Go to your initial posting. Press on the edit pen at the end of your po…

Agreed - the favicons end up being so small as to be unrecognizable, often. I like the idea of expired tabs, but please let’s find other ways of showing it, or have the option of not showing it.
