Safari 15 displays the active tab by graying it out. How can I reverse that behavior? It's the opposite of everything else, and it's incredibly confusing and annoying. I haven't been able to find the setting yet.

I agree.


There is no setting.


Not only has the active tab been lighter for as long as I can remember, look at the Finder for comparison: the active window is lighter, and background windows are darker.


They should at least offer a Preference to revert to the previous behavior.
