Current Behavior

Running web3.js with Metamask, the latter informs with a warning that the "close" may be removed in any future version.

new window.Web3(window.ethereum)

➡️
MetaMask: The event 'close' is deprecated and may be removed in the future. Please use 'disconnect' instead.
For more information, see: https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-1193#disconnect

Expected Behavior

Should use a current method, not a deprecated one.
