Without Persona (Appearance/Light Theme):
- Active foreground tab in Tab Bar = blurry grayscale antialiasing
- Inactive background tabs in Tab Bar = sharp subpixel antialiasing
- Location Bar in Navigation Toolbar = blurry grayscale antialiasing

With Persona (Appearance/Light Theme):
- Active foreground tab in Tab Bar = sharp subpixel antialiasing
- Inactive background tabs in Tab Bar = blurry grayscale antialiasing
- Location Bar in Navigation Toolbar = sharp subpixel antialiasing

Kinda funny thing is that using Persona (Appearance/Light Theme) will reverse used antialiasing scaling method.
