Thicker window borders in latest Brave update on Windows 11? (v1.87.186)

After updating to the latest version of Brave, I noticed a subtle but noticeable change in the interface when using it on Windows.

It seems that the thickness of the browser window borders has increased compared to the previous version.

My observations:

  • Operating System: Windows 11

  • Current Version: v1.87.186 (Feb 12, 2026)

What changed: I get the impression that the window borders are now “chunkier” or that the clickable area for resizing has expanded. This ends up giving the feeling that the window has lost some useful screen space.

I favor wider scrollbars, including arrows.

Yet, there may be adjustments - see:
