Ambient mode is a dark mode specific feature. If you don’t use dark mode then it’s not going to do anything.

Completely hiding it in normal mode isn’t the best choice, but it is somewhat understandable.

this makes sense. I stopped doing per site dark mode and just use the darkreader extension to make everything dark mode, so the option never appears.
