(In reply to Kestrel from comment #3) > I think it's more to do with the odd behavior of the new tab page shortcuts, it's the only place I can think of that uses a white background when claiming to prefer dark. A dark page background should switch the shortcuts to dark background as well or not send the prefers dark signal. Please file a bug about this in the New Tab component. I suspect it was done because many icons historically were built to look correct on a white background. On our side we can just notice we have incomplete support for dark/bright themed icons, we could do manipulation to ensure served icons appear good anyway.
