1 year ago The forced orange highlight color in particular is actually a desktop integration bug with implications for accessibility in the case of color blindness, but it also impinges on the right of the user to theme their desktop in a way that they see fit.
Brave's branding choices should not force-override those of the user by default, and particularly should not do so without the option to fix it. I don't need to be reminded that I'm using Brave, and I don't want to encourage people to lean over my shoulder to see what browser I'm using, there is no benefit in waving your brand in my face when I'm already a customer. It's annoying.
I know of at least two people who would be using Brave right now if the highlight color followed the preferences they set, yet I have never encountered a user who had anything positive to say about the color scheme or other hardcoded aspects of Brave's theme.
This lack of choice is costing Brave users, without any tangible benefits. It is user-hostile and ableist and needs to go. This misfeature requires modification of the original chromium code, and as such is a counterproductive waste of programming resources that could be better used serving the user instead of wokring against them.

Regardless of release channel (Stable, Beta, Nightly), which all have different colored icons, the underlying theme is the same.
It would be great if each channel had its own color scheme throughout (Orange Stable, Blue Beta, Purple Nightly).
OR
Allow user selectable color scheme choices in all releases.
Issue doesn't require all the other information like steps to reproduce, etc. Straightforward request.
Applies to all versions (Desktop, Android, iOS, Mac)
