How to Use Dark Theme but White Websites in Brave
Even though not as popular as Chrome or Edge, Brave browser is still used by millions of users worldwide. You get a built-in VPN, Adblocker, and Tor-powered private window.
Besides the privacy features, Brave Browser for PC has all the features you may need, like the ability to turn on the dark theme.
The Brave browser has a dark mode, but many users have reported problems with it.
Understanding the Dark Mode in Brave Browser?
Brave Browser allows you to select between Light, Dark, or the same used on your system.
When the Brave Browser’s dark mode was first launched, a bug forced it even on webpages that didn’t support it.
The bug was later fixed with a browser update. Now, selecting dark mode will only apply the dark theme to the browser’s interface, and websites supporting it will also display it.
How to Use Dark Theme but White Websites Brave?
Let’s get to the point: Is it possible to keep dark mode on but prevent webpages from being rendered in dark mode on Brave?
Webpages that don’t support dark mode will continue to be displayed in light mode. The Brave colors/themes only affect the browser itself, not the content of the website you’re on.
So, if you see websites also appear in dark mode, it’s likely because the individual site controls that setting.
Most websites today auto-detect what theme your browser is using and present their web contents to match it. It is possible to view websites in light mode even when the browser is set to a dark theme, but only if the website provides an option to switch themes.
