    As of Canary Version 89.0.734.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit), sleeping tabs ARE once again greying out when they go to sleep.. It has been fixed... 😄

    Ok, sent with screenshot and an attached picture and all the diagnostic data.. Picture shows that even though the tabs do not grey out they do show hover message "This tab is sleeping to save resources"
