VSCODE - Disable highlighting and outlining in html tags and editor line

These are some of the things I really find visually annoying in VSCODE, I was hoping someone could help me disable them.

1.) Outlining <> in tags.

Check out the outlines in the tag.

I don't know about you, but I find this very annoying.

2.) Outline in the active line

enter image description here

I ran through all the workspace settings and set to false all that might - or at least - in any way related to highlighting and outlining but no luck.

Try this one "editor.matchBrackets": false in your Preferences - User/Workspace setting

Newer Visual Studio Code:

It's in Settings under Editor: Match Brackets

The boxes really annoyed me, but I do like the indication. I found an extension called Subtle Match Brackets. It works perfect for me. It changes to a subtle underline instead of the box. Here's a link:

The active line outline can be disabled like this:

"editor.renderLineHighlight": "none"

As for bracket highlighting, I couldn't find any setting for this either. It looks like there are at least three open issues related to this, so you might have to wait until those are resolved:

Personally, I find these indicators helpful. :)
