Brave is a mess!

I’ve used Brave for several years and loved it. But now, with the latest version of both Brave and Mac OS, it’s all messed up. Checkboxes and buttons show intermittently and I cannot see anything clearly on LinkedIn when Messages are open. It’s all overlayed and darkened out. I removed Brave amd installed a new copy, but nothing changed. A mess!

What does it look like? Does it kind of glitch? It you can, please send a screenshot.

Hi @Richard8 thanks for reporting.

Could you kindly share the following below and we can troubleshoot what might be happening.

  1. What version OS/device are you using?
  2. What version of Brave are you on? (Stable, Nightly or Beta)
  3. Do you have Brave Shields enabled or disabled?

Thanks

The image of the spa dispays intermitently.
The buttons are displaying ok right now.
The LinkedIn image speaks for itself.


Maybe you could try turning off hardware acceleration in the settings? I had a similar issue on Linux and Turing off hard. Acceleration helped.

Could not find hardware acceleration. Path?

You can find it by going to brave://settings and searching for Hardware Acceleration.

Thanks, we’ll see how that works.

Don’t think you’re the only one feeling the pain: the linux desktop version has been borked since v1.52.117
The biggest issue for me is being blinded by light mode every time I open brave…and no, it’s still not fixed with v1.52.122
