That is because other browsers don't bother to integrate with your GTK theme. Firefox gets burned here because it tries to be a good platform citizen. It is probably going to be "fixed" by [bug 1411425](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1411425 "[meta] [gtk] [fission] Remove full-native theming for content (Linux NNT)") so whatever.

No other OSes have had native dark theming until very recently. It would be impossible for them to ignore user complaints for a decade if the users never complained because they never had access to dark themes in the first place.

So you dropped the argument that the web has a standard spec for widget/control theming that is separate from OS styling?

As I mentioned previously, native theming has been around forever. Clearly, you prefer that browsers not theme themselves based on the OS that they run on. In that case, you can change the preference.

I don't get the anger, personally.
