Is there a way to turn off the bright headers that have started appearing in Safari since the update to OS26?

What's with all the terrible, distracting, VERY bright colors in the Safari header since the last update to OS Tahoe 26.1? And is there any way to turn them off? I find them very distracting! They seem to be in psychedelic-like bright colors, mainly red, blue, and orange. Terrible idea!

MacBook Air 15″, macOS 26.1

That is the only place/app you see this "VERY bright colors" (?)


Quit the Safari.app and relaunch it holding the Shift key down and compare your results...
