Bibi to do: test on Edge and then should be ready to close

To test: How it works in split-window mode (#366 (comment))

[raducristianpopa]

In split view, the extension is only taking into the consideration only the first pane from the split view when updating icon. If we are on a non-monetized website in the first pane and on a web monetized one in the second one, the icon will have the non-monetized website identifier.

Arc's split view should be checked as well.
Vivaldi's tab tiling as well.

Blocked as we wait for the MS support team

Found the sender port in Runtime.Port message handler returns correct tab ID 🎉

port.onMessage.addListener((message, sendingPort) => {
   console.log(sendingPort.sender?.tab?.id);
});

So, we can make a short connection on content script inject and store tabId for use in future messages?

Edit: or instead of tabActivated event, rely on focusChange messages from content script.

Everything works once we get right tabId, except Edge doesn't update the icon (even with correct tabId!)
