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?

Test out your fingerprint resistance by going to fingerprint.com there are commercial service, but they will track you on their webpage. And tell you if they can match you to a previous ID. So just visit an incognito mode. Restart your browser, visit again an incognito mode. See if you get matched
The only browser that works for me against fingerprint.com is the tor browser, and mullvad browser.
Firefox+arkenfox still gets fingerprinted for me
Using the fire button in DuckDuckGo did work.

I trust the EFF more
By all means do both. But it’s not about trust, it’s about capabilities.
Fingerprint.com has an incentive to track you, they’re demonstrating it to get sites to hire them to track you. So use them as a test to see if a commercial entity can track you. Of course cover your tracks is great, but no matter how low the score is, if the commercial fingerprint.com can track you, you’re trackable… it’s just empirical
