Dark mode resests after browser is closed

can also confirm that toggling the theme doesn’t stick I’m trying a different black theme from the google chrome addon store/site…maybe that will make a difference UPDATE- changing themes from “classic” to a new dark theme I grabbed off the chrome addon store seems to have made the change stick. I can close and reopen brave and have dark mode as it was and should be.

Just downgrade with sudo apt install brave-browser=1.51.118 and wait for fix.

Here’s another useful command : sudo apt-mark hold brave-browser

Which prevents Brave from being upgraded to that problematic version again when updating the system.
