This depends on how you have configured IntelliJ. In my setup it's here:

That's settings -> editor -> color scheme -> general : editor -> caret.

No, but you can change the colour of the caret so that you can see it. You probably want to leave the border because it actually helps when the braces are far apart or unbalanced. – Software Engineer Dec 01 '19 at 19:59
This will change the caret color not the matching braces, to remove the border from the braces you have to go settings -> editor -> color scheme -> general : code -> matched brace and then change the style from the effects dropdown from bordered to smth else, or just untick the effects checkbox for no special styling. – ziz194 Jul 12 '23 at 18:51
@ziz194 - You should write that up as an answer. – Software Engineer Jul 13 '23 at 15:55
@SoftwareEngineer I couldn't submit an answer for some reason. Maybe because yours is chosen as the correct answer? – ziz194 Jul 13 '23 at 16:20
That shouldn't stop you. It's blocked because it's closed now :) – Software Engineer Jul 18 '23 at 07:33
