My personal wish is that the bright contrasted blue outline which was displayed in Thorium2 during keyboard interactions (not mouse / pointing device) will come back in Thorium3. I appreciate that the design decisions will naturally not please everybody, but in this case I think Thorium is loosing a quality of interaction that was appreciated by keyboard users: clear indication of focus with an outline that differentiates itself from the rest of the GUI, much like screen reader focus rings. The contrasted blue outline looks less "pretty" (more out of place) in Thorium2, but it has a very utilitarian value which does not affect mouse users, only benefits keyboard users. See screenshot below (the navigator continues to use the blue focus ring, it works well in both dark and light modes):

I am adding @llemeurfr here as this is a "product owner" decision, ultimately.
