When I have unread slack messages, the Slack icon on the browser tab is a bright white (with a red dot when I get a mention):
When I have no unread messages, it is grey:
Is there anyway to disable this "badging" so the tab does not change at all, regardless of whether or not I have unread messages? I have Slack notifications disabled in Chrome, but this only affects the little notification pop-ups. I know that I can mute channels in Slack to not get any form of notification, but I just want to control of the tab behaves, because I would still like to see an indication in the Slack sidebar of which channels include unread messages when I visit the Slack tab itself.

You aren't alone in this request, however it isn't possible at this time. The Slack Twitter account responded to this question only last month:
