Risks


Interoperability and Compatibility


Gecko: No signal (https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/851) 
There is a separate umbrella issue for some the preference media queries 
(contrast, motion, color-scheme). They have a stale PR to add an overall 
positive position for those preference media queries. They also have an 
implementation behind a flag. It's not been enabled yet due to fingerprinting 
concerns.

WebKit: No signal (https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues/145) I 
have submitted an implementation of this feature as a PR to WebKit: 
https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/11560

Web developers: Positive 
(https://blog.logrocket.com/new-media-queries-you-need-to-know)

Other signals:

Security
This feature can be used for fingerprinting as it exposes a user preference.


WebView application risks
Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it 
has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?


Debuggability
This can be emulated in the Dev Tools rendering tab like other preference media 
queries.


Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, 
Chrome OS, Android, and Android WebView)?
Yes
The feature will be supported on all platforms, but whether the user will be 
able to signal a reduced transparency preference may depend on the OS.


Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests 
<https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md>?
Yes

Anticipated spec changes
Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or interop 
issues. Please list open issues (e.g. links to known github issues in the 
project for the feature specification) whose resolution may introduce web 
compat/interop risk (e.g., changing to naming or structure of the API in a 
non-backward-compatible way).
