Hello,

I always get crazy (probably as many of You also do) when I open many websites in background tabs and then, one of them starts playing a video or something. Then I need to search through the tabs for the annoying one and manually turn the video off. Wouldn't it be nice if the browser changed the favicon of a background-opened tab to an icon of loudspeaker (for example) when it starts playing audio? And maybe, clicking the loudspeaker icon could temporarily mute the audio leaking from this tab or maybe even pause Flash- or HTML5-based video/audio?

What do You think about it?

Hint:

opera:config

Search for "plugin"

User Prefs
Enable On Demand Plugin
Enable On Demand Plugin Placeholder

This will start Plugins like Video Players only upon your request.
