1 year ago Other preference media queries have a general concerns privacy tag on the basis of fingerprinting which is a similar concern with this one. From my perspective as a developer accessibility should win but I understand different priorities.
Potentially it could be an opt in where you give up privacy for accessibility help.

Description
This would be a new media query to indicate that the user prefers information to be conveyed through more than just colour. This is particularly useful for those with colour blindness. More detail can be found in the linked issue.
Apple platforms have a specific accessibility setting that would match up to this. They also have colour filters (at least on macOS) that could also trigger this setting.
