Hi,

I have a Safari extension that works well in iOS before 18, which can switch to a different tab with chrome.tabs.update back and forth by keyboard shortcuts. With iOS 18, as Page content loses its focus, it is impossible to trigger content script directly, I have to manually touch screen to put focus back to page content so that keystroke can trigger my content script to talk with background to call chrome.tabs.update to switch back.

Please bring focus to page content after switching to a new tab with chrome.tabs.update.
