Stupid as it is my biggest complaint is that none of them seem to have amoled dark mode. Been using and enjoying fennec but I really want my perfect blacks back.

People kinda stopped implementing full black once they realized that battery savings between dark gray and black is negligible

It’s still a measurable difference & it looks nicer having the pixels fully off. No need to dismiss the parent’s preference. Personally, I find the dark gray arguments pretty weak.

It is measurable difference, but it's only 0.3% more of battery life compared to dark gray. This is very good article about this: https://www.xda-developers.com/amoled-black-vs-gray-dark-mode/

I’ve read that article several times before (and have written about the topic), but on a global screen usage scale 0.3% is still not 0% so you could argue that if saving power is the goal of using a dark theme on OLED devices, then maximum black would be a most ethical design choice. I will take my 0.3% battery + an aesthetic I like better any day.
