When I download something from any Browser, exsisting files on my mac appear grayed out

I am relatively new to macOS and have to download many files daily as part of my job.

When I download anything, existing filenames in the finder window are greyed out and it's very hard to read the file names.


Here is how it looks like when I download something



Here is how normal finder window looks like



I usually have to replace the old files with new versions. For example, an updated PDF report where an old file is outdated but a new file has a slightly different name so I manually need to click on the old file to replace it with a new file.


I was able to fix it somehow from settings on new Mac but new update few weeks ago runied it.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.1
