Bring back "Who can chat with me" setting

I made a similar thread before which got quite a bit of support:

Disable button for the chat/party interface

I don’t use the chat/party interface on the website at all and I don’t intend on using it in the future, yet it keeps maximizing itself every now and then while browsing the website, even after I minimize it, which is annoying. My request is to add a button to the Settings/Privacy tab to completely disable the chat/party interface, which used to be possible for the old chat/party system.

Unfortunately:

Re: the chat/party disable request, I can confirm that we have decided not to implement a complete off switch. I am looking into what we can do in terms of turning off the audio notification or the flashing on multiple tabs.
