Like everyone already said not usable in firefox. When testing a chromium based browser I get no results. Tried test, foo, image, covid19 and pulse.

So I think it's probably broken...

You won't see a difference in results between browsers. There's 0 Javascript on the site.

If you're seeing something funky with the CSS in Firefox... Then you probably have a dark mode addon. And the addons and Chrome disagree with how dark mode should work. Try disabling it.

I'm seeing 40+ responses for each of those words when searching, across Firefox, Chrome, Firefox Android, Chrome Android, and even Lynx.

The problem in firefox is from this bit of code:

    /*
        Darkmode
    */
    @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
        html {
          background-color: white;
          filter: invert(100%);
        }

        input {
          filter: invert(20%);
        }
    }

It seems in firefox the invert doesn't apply to the background color of the html element so you end up with yellow on white.

Yep. However Chrome doesn't invert the background unless I specify it.

And as far as I'm aware, Firefox doesn't actually have a dark mode preference outside of Preview as of yet. There are plenty of addons - but they all have wildly varying behaviour.

Firefox has had support for it for several versions.

You're right. My bad. Tripped up by privacy.resistFingerprinting forcing it to `light`.

Edit: And I believe dark mode should now be working across all the major browsers.
