Option to disable updated tabs badge
Steps to reproduce
Open settings, find "Show the mark on unread tabs", set it to off.
Expected behavior
The blue circle showing if a page is unread should disappear, or at least not show up again in case it's set to off.
Actual behavior
That blue circle keeps coming back whenever a tab gets updated in the background, even when it's set to off.

Unread tab's mark is a turquoise triangle at the bottom-left.

The blue circle badge shows that tab's title was changed (useful for messaging / streaming sites).

Unfortunately, there is no toggle for this feature and if you don't mind I can update this issue as "Option to disable updated tabs badge" and implement it later.
As a workaround you can try this custom css (Sidebery settings / Appearance / Edit styles):
.Tab[data-updated="true"] .fav .update-badge {
display: none;
}
.Tab[data-updated="true"] .fav img,
.Tab[data-updated="true"] .fav svg {
mask: none;
}
My bad, please feel free to change the issue then and thanks for the workaround.
