This is intentional; we don't have room to show both icons, and we consider the "tab is muted" state more critical to indicate if we can pick only one.

If you'd like us to reconsider, it would help to have a description of the problem you were trying to solve.

The problem I have is that the tab's icon is not visible. I can't tell what the tab is anymore, it's especially difficult when I have multiple pinned and muted tabs.

A specific example would be having several chat applications pinned, and using the 'mute tab' feature to prevent them from playing sounds when messages are received.

Fundamentally, this ties back to our choice to use a full-size icon rather than some sort of small badge or indicator to signal that pinned tabs are muted.  That same choice is why we ran into trouble with clickable mute icons and click targeting of narrow tabs.  Note Firefox' choice here to badge the icon instead of replacing it (see attachment).

We could do something similar, or we could periodically crossfade between the two icons.

->ainslie to decide how the UX team wants to proceed here.

Hmm. Maybe we could bring back the favicon on hover?
I imagine this case (pinned + muted + need_favicon) is rare.

My worry is then you have to scrub the tabs every time you want to see which is which.

It might also be harder to implement that technically than the badging route, which seems like a superior UX to me.

It'll take a while but I'll keep this issue and the idea as input when we start looking into tab UI improvement. 

I have multiple pinned tabs, since the titles of pinned tabs are already hidden, leaving only the favicon to identify the tab, having that only remaining web site identification also covered by the "mute" icon is removing a piece of extremely important information from the UI.

I implore you to conduct a survey in order to see which piece of information is more important to the user:

a) whether the tab is muted, or
b) an idea of what the tabbed site is about

Thanks.

What about having a user setting on which icon has priority? I'd definitely set the priority to the favicon rather than the mute icon, given the opportunity.
I imagine that users having multiple pinned muted tabs might typically be power users.
Also, extension which make new tabs muted by default could expose somehow this setting.

We will not be adding a setting.

Is my Chrome bugged or this was implemented?

The feature changed from "mute tab" to "mute site", so it's understandable this bug is no longer relevant as it seemed to be resolved as a by-product.

Still relevant, not resolved.  A muted site which is making sound still has this icon.

Ah.  However for a muted site "which is not making sound" it won't show the mute icon?  What if the site decides to make sound after it's muted, would the icon change?

Correct, for both.

Just found this, I filed the same thing recently  bug 816133  . Firefox does this properly, and there would have been no need for 785406. It's nice to know a site has been muted even though there's no audio playing!

Sorry for double posting but I just realized that this doesn't only apply to pinned tabs, it's also an issue when you have lots of tabs open. Here is a screenshot of Chrome beta 66, the tab with the speaker icon is a youtube video playing. The Firefox style badging would be really nice here

*** UI Mass Triage***
Tested on latest Canary #72.0.3617.0 on Windows 10 and was still able to reproduce the issue.

Thanks!
