My suspicion is that it has something to do with fingerprinting blocking and prevent websites from tracking you by your language settings. It seems to be rarer when I disable both settings, but it still appears.
It’s a really triggering issue when you get randomly flashbanged by a website you expect to be in dark mode, which works in every other browser, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, but for some reason, in Brave, Google.com switches back and forth between dark and light mode when dark mode is enabled. This thing made me quit using Brave multiple times, to come back and realize that this silly issue is still there.
Yes I know google sucks, privacy wise. Yes I tried other search engines. They’re ok, actually, including Duckduckgo and Brave search. But this is a clear displaying issue, and I still quite like using Google.com. In dark mode.
