Playing around with the toggling the do not track request toggle doesn't do anything to remove the icon. Whether it is toggled on or off, the icon will appear when the page is open again. Refreshing it will remove the icon only to reappear again the next time you open the file.

My excel file is password protected, having to re input the password on every refresh is quite annoying.

Hi ducsue​,

Thank you for letting us know. I'll raise this internally to see if I can glean any more information.

In the meantime, I'd suggest using keyboard shortcuts to toggle left and right between the tabs:

  • Next Tab (Right): Alt + Down Arrow
  • Previous Tab (Left): Alt + Up Arrow
    • Note: On a Mac, you can use Option (possibly the Right Option key) instead of Alt for the same function.

 

Just a suggestion while we look into this.
