Basically title…I’m wondering specifically if my chrome/userChrome.css is increasing my chances of getting fingerprinted/tracked/etc. I can’t find answers on DDG or on Arkenfox’s GitHub, so I’m probably good, but what do you think?

    Think what you’re talking to more applies to add-ons like dark reader. Websites can’t see what your browser visually looks like.

    Maybe they can see if your userchrome js modified the height by seeing the viewport size, but that’s getting way paranoid for it to be realistically used against you

      Yes you are correct. Another commenter pointed out I was getting mixed up between user styles and user chrome. Funny that we both considered how modifying user chrome could potentially impact viewport size! We both have paranoid minds :P
