Bug: Ollama website theme does not switch in Brave browser

Description

The Ollama website does not correctly switch between dark and light mode when using the Brave browser. The theme appears stuck or does not respond to system theme changes or manual toggles.

The issue does not occur in other browsers such as Safari, where theme switching works as expected.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open the Ollama website in Brave browser
  2. Change system theme (light ↔ dark) rather than toggling on the site
  3. Refresh the page or revisit the site
  4. Observe that the theme does not update correctly or remains unchanged

Expected behavior

The website should:

  • Respect system theme change
  • Persist the selected theme correctly across sessions

Actual behavior

  • Theme does not switch or update correctly in Brave
  • UI may remain stuck in either light or dark mode
  • The same behavior is not reproducible in Safari

Notes

This may be related to Brave-specific behavior such as:

  • Blocking or partitioning of localStorage or cookies used for theme persistence
  • Interference with prefers-color-scheme detection
  • Privacy or script-blocking features affecting UI state management

The issue appears to be browser-specific rather than a general website bug.
