Better highlighting of active tab

In dark mode, the active tab highlighting is very faint. Especially when using tab groups and lots of tabs, it’s easy to lose track of where the active tab is. I find myself frequently hunting for my active tab.

The problem is made even worse with night shift on and a dimmed screen. It’s nearly impossible to pick out the active tab at times.

I have looked for extensions to fix this but they seem to either be poorly functioning, poorly maintained projects or require an entire theme replacement.

I like the default theme but a control to allow increasing the highlighting or, better yet, outlining the active tab with a 1px line that is either white or that matches the associated tab group color would be awesome.

Thanks.

True. It’s a major issue on Brave when using horizontal tabs
