Microsoft Edge. Bring back the option to fade inactive apps.

MicrosoftHi DevJames27 - Thanks for the feedback! I would like to provide the team with additional information. Can you share how was fading tabs helping your workflow? Any additional details or examples would be very helpful!

Kelly_Y : the main two reasons I would like to have the fading tabs feature back, and have it back for good, not just as a destined-to-be-removed feature flag, are:
- I currently have three browsers open, each of them at least ten windows. When I was switching between Edge windows it was relatively easy to understand where I left off, because the tabs I was looking for in the last N minutes (would be nice to have this customizable, too) were bright, and the other dozen tabs weren't.
- It's kind of calming to see that out of ten windows you have open, a thirty tabs each, only a total of ten tabs are meaningfully occupying your resources. With the amount of stuff people have running on their desktops, and prices I guess, it's important to have your research tool (like browser) take as little of your precious computing as possible.
Please work this thing out, or maybe it's something that can be customized, like userChrome.css for Firefox?
