Please edit your Original Post (“OP”) above, in order to include:
- Brave Browser version numbers - required by Brave Support
- Computing device Operating System version numbers - helps
- The background color setting/theme that you might have established for your Brave Browser installation - unbeknownst to you by some incident of the installation (a bug?)
- The background color setting/theme that you might have established for your OS
I am using Brave Browser (MacOS v14.8.4 Sonoma) vBrave 1.88.134, and the following are screenshots for the Brave Community URL address that you used:
https://community.brave.app/u/activate-account/8271cc5d9fa30f4d159b7da5bf414605
Brave Browser “Normal” aka “Standard” Window, yours on the left, mine on the right (smaller 13-inch display):
Brave Browser “Normal” aka “Standard” Window, at the top, and “Private” Window at the bottom - both are my browser:
RESULT: No background color that you experience.
I would test both the Brave Browser “Normal”/“Standard” window, and the Brave Browser Private window - taking screenshots that you will display here, using website: https://search.brave.com
Also test, by creating a new Brave Browser user profile, in order to find out if you get a different result (test, using the https://search.brave.com site) >
Create a new user Profile for Testing:
Create and use AN ADDITIONAL Brave Browser user Profile (Menu --> More tools --> Add profile) - only ← meaning: Do not have any other Brave Browser user Profile tabs/windows open.
When creating this new Brave Browser user Profile for test purposes
- Do not import anything.
- Do not add any extensions.
- Do not allow/enable any Brave Browser “bells and whistles” such as Brave Rewards, Brave Talk, etc.
IF this test Brave Browser user Profile does not present your problem, then possibly, the profile that you have been using, has a problem . . . and that might be caused by one or more extensions, or too many tabs ← complex/conundrum.
