rely on a browser's high contrast mode

Hi all,

we've got a website redesign in process and when I pointed out contrast
issues where we're not completely AA complaint, I was asked this:

"To what degree can we rely on a browser's high contrast mode? When I turn
on chrome's high contrast mode, it solves any contrast issues the pages may
have had. Do we need a policy for such a thing? "

I'd prefer to be at least AA as a minimum, but wanted to get expert
opinions. I couldn't find anything that directly answered the question in
my searches on the google.

Thank you,
Mike
