It is a common misconception, they perform functionally identical across multiple PC's and updates. People are just slow to change their minds.
Can you show me data showing that Firefox with dark theme, does a first load on a website just as fast as Chrome or edge? Same data point for with video buffer in frame? Pretty sure its noticeably slower in both scenarios with a dark theme.
I run a dark theme by default, first load of google.com in chrome is functionally indentical in performance as I said. Statistically there is a difference, probably only 0.1 - 0.25s max faster load in Chrome but it's not reliable at all in the few tests I did quick (t's 4am), so something that does not effect function itself, only form, makes me still correct in what I said originally.
