I am trying to find the CSS target to disable the fade-out effect when a user enters the topic thread. In Meta, you can see the blue fade-out effect when you try to enter a thread. Here’s a video link for better understanding: [Screen Recording](https://www.loom.com/share/f56c9165dbb74618b116428d261f9c93)

The CSS responsible for this effect is `highlighted`.
This class is dynamically added to the target element and removed once the animation ends.
Dirty fix could be:
```CSS
.highlighted {
animation: none !important;
}
```
Of course, feel free to prepend any element if you want a specific context.
