In a previous post I asked what your thoughts were on the theme I was working on and it immediately became apparent that users were wondering how this would affect their anonymity.

From my research on the matter I found that this should generally not be a concern. I recommend you read my detailed explanation which can be found in the readme of the source code.

The theme is originally designed for the Tor browser, but I made an extra effort to make it work on Firefox as well. You can install it from the add-ons store if you'd like to check it out. 😄

This website always reports light for me as well, same goes for manually checking with JavaScript. I think that value gets spoofed regardless of the enabled theme.

    So does that mean dark mode is not the browser default? I only linked to this website because it's the most specific, but I also tried duckduckgo and a couple other sites, which all also loaded in light mode.

    It’s the default (as in default selected theme) for desktop. I’m not sure if that’s the case for Android, I unfortunately don’t own an Android phone currently to check.

    The prefers-color-scheme being reported as light seems to be coming from Firefox’s resist fingerprinting feature (which is always enabled on Tor browser).
