Is customizing Firefox via userChrome.css bad for privacy? (lemmy.ml)

Basically title...I'm wondering specifically if my chrome/userChrome.css is increasing my chances of getting fingerprinted/tracked/etc. I can't find answers on DDG or on Arkenfox's GitHub, so I'm probably good, but what do you think?

Are you talking about userContent.css? For that, it makes sense to me that it would be visible to webpages, since it applies styles to webpages.

But OP is talking about userChrome.css, which styles the Firefox UI. I would be very surprised, if that's not isolated from webpages.

Yes! That's exactly what is going on. My bad, I'll edit my comment to correct my mistake.
