Finally figured it out. Today the image on the screensaver turned into the thumbnail on a YouTube video. It turns out the new version of Linux Mint Cinnamon defaults to show “album art” cover for playing media on the screensaver. For some reason, when certain tabs are open in Brave it picks up the brave logo as the album cover of playing media. Showing this on a lock screen or screensaver is dumb, but at least you can turn off the “show album art” toggle on screensaver settings.
