New Layer Highlight feature in Photoshop

Hi,

So I have noticed that recently Photoshop added a new feature and I'm not sure that it only bothers me, but I don't find an answer where to turn this off if possible.

Before when I hovered layers in photoshop I don't recall it would highlight the layers, only when I clicked on them.
Now suddenly it's highlighting the layers I'm hovering over, which makes it very confusing to see which layer I'm actually working on.
The layer is blue when hovered.
And it's grey when selected with click

Can I turn this feature off?

It's beyond annoying, it slows my work down and I don't wish to get used to it as it's just a distraction.

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz
Installed RAM 32.0 GB (31.8 GB usable)
Device ID 27756CCC-6C04-49DB-A87F-479753B83DCC
Product ID 00330-80000-00000-AA836
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Pen and touch Pen support
Win 10

Thanks for the help!

I dont know who is running the show at adobe, but they do not share the customer vision.
I dont want this feature. I have never wanted it. I am 20% the way through my masters with 3 more years to go and I need consistant functionality to get my school work done on time.

Why can we not just LEAVE WHAT WORKS ALONE.
