Private Tab and Normal Tab are indistinguishable in dark mode

shebg626 Can you show the screenshot of the same in Safari?

shebg626 Can you show Safari in dark mode, side by side normal and private

When dark mode is enabled but the webpage itself is white, there is still a noticeable difference between Normal and Private. Here is a screenshot of a white Google page with system dark mode enabled.

But when the webpage is dark, the search bars between Private and Normal become impossible to distinguish.

The original screenshot didn’t show the issue fully since the Normal page was slightly lighter than the Private page. So I’ve attached another screenshot of the New Tab page with the same background color.

As you can see, the Private search bar is almost exactly the same shade as the Normal search bar.

snuser I would like to state that I agree with the message content of snoser and would like to have the new change reverted to how it was before. Snoser has shared some excellent feedback on how it should be, I very much agree with this.

The current solution for this issue has too much contrast and used in wrong place.
It is probably better for normal tab groups stay as they were before
(Their current state)

And instead, change incognito bar color to black just like in Safari

I’m very happy with the recent update. It makes it much easier to distinguish between normal and private browsing, and the search bar is still very legible and clean.

We are having conflicting asks here? Orion should be same as Safari now?

The most recent update brought back this issue that was resolved three years ago. In dark mode, there isn’t a big visual difference between normal and private browsing. The address bar is actually lighter for private tabs in dark mode, which is a bit counterintuitive. I’ve found myself accidentally using normal mode when I didn’t intend to.
