Describe the bug

When using Zen Browser's transparency effect, the background transparency becomes invalid on https://www.perplexity.ai/.
After submitting a query, the page loses the transparency/blur (mica/acrylic) effect and turns into a solid dark background.


Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Zen Browser
  2. Go to https://www.perplexity.ai/
  3. Ensure transparency/blur effect is enabled in browser settings
  4. Enter any query (e.g., "hello world") and submit
  5. Wait for the response to load

Expected behavior

The transparency/blur effect should remain active across the entire page, including after submitting a query and loading results.


Actual behavior

After submitting a query:

  • Transparency effect disappears
  • Background becomes opaque (solid dark)
  • Blur/mica effect no longer applies
