Safari / Google Search

Hey guys,


I hope this is a super simple fix, I just can't seem to get the wording right to find it on Google / other forums. Recently on Safari Version 12.0.3 (14606.4.5) when I search something on Google it's started putting an odd thick black drop shadow around the text / found fields...


Any ideas on how to stop this?



I've opened Firefox on my computer and it doesn't do the same.
