Details
Configuration
Neutral slate tab strips, toolbar surfaces and navigation icons follow the Firefox port's surface hierarchy. Teal is limited to small active-tab details and supported New Tab links, rather than tinting whole surfaces. Night stays dark; Paper stays near-white.
Chrome's theme API does not expose Firefox's tab-outline or address-field focus-border colors. Chrome also controls profile buttons and parts of its New Tab search/customization UI independently. A theme does not recolor websites or change your browser's language. Brave and other Chromium versions may apply these mappings differently.
Use the activation instructions above and keep your other application configuration.
Compatibility
