Safari introduces Adaptive Dark Mode in 27.3

I wouldn't call this part of the situation a bug. I'm sure everyone has their own opinion about which is the "right" way to handle a mismatch of OS level preference and browser level theme though.

The underlying problem is Chrome exposes no (normal) setting to override the OS level setting at all, not necessarily that the preference shall always follow the browser's theme specifically.

I am not sure how someone can think it is correct to follow the OS settings for browser content if the browser explicitly allows setting the dark mode. What else is the browser setting for?

I contend that this is a bug, as the browser is the User Agent. To me, this means that if the user tells the browser "use the dark theme", it's the browser's job to communicate that to the page
