Hello! Sorry for the trouble. We have an open issue regarding this matter. https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/41888
Could you provide any specific sites where you’re experiencing this issue? Thanks!
@Evan123 seems Brave Community here is one. Tested while on Night mode doesn’t work anymore - #3 by Evan123 and it actually changed the text but not the background. Video of this happening is below. Not sure about other websites and will be curious to see if @BuddyUnicorn777
has any in particular they are experiencing this at.
-NOTE-
Video above was filmed on my iPhone 13 Pro Max.
- iOS 18.1
- Brave version 1.70.1 (133)
Thanks for details @Saoiray! Bringing this up to the iOS team now.
Browser is a mess. Turn on Dark mode. Go CNN.com, page appears dark. Tap any story, dark mode disabled.
Go to globeandmail.com, tap “Investing”. Tap on any commodity along top, example oil. Can’t read a thing, text on left is reduced to lines.
Other places are just as messy.
Why can’t you revert in App stores until fixed?

@Evan123 thanks. And seeing what CaledonKen shared on links, I checked. You can see below.
globeandmail (normal)
globeandmail (night mode)
CNN article (Night Mode)
Interestingly, the main page on CNN worked as intended. But https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/03/us/conservative-christian-coming-out-gay-cec/index.html as a randomly chosen article stayed in light mode the entire time. Unlike other two examples, the text all stayed legible but it’s just that background didn’t change.
Can you guys please restore the old dark mode before the lastest update? It used to work so much better than this one. Almost no website goes into dark mode anymore. Also, YouTube is messing up when playing a video and switching to different apps in iOS 18.1
I chose Brave for its ad blocking and Night shift mode. Night shift simple does not work and others have stated, the old version worked. Can any Brave developers comment on whether this is an issue being worked on or is this just the way it is going to be.
