Lets imagine that I am a warlock with Foresight on = my attack rolls have advantage
I am fighting a creature with Dazzling Visage. A brilliant array of chromatic colors emanates from Windfall, causing attack rolls against her to have disadvantage. This trait ceases to function while Windfall has the incapacitated condition or has a speed of 0.
So my advantage and her given disadvantage cancel out each other, however npc is standing in magical darkness and npc cant see through it meaning it is blinded, I still get advantage on attack rolls then? I am also inside darkness but I have Devil's Sight
No, advantage and disadvantage are strict that multiple sources for one or the other don't stack and if you have both they cancel each other out. Doesn't matter how many different conditions are giving you advantage, if there's one or more conditions giving you disadvantage, you lose both.

Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.
Basically: -Advantage doesn't stack multiple instances -Disadvantage doesn't stack multiple instances -If you have both, you're considered to have neither, no matter how many sources of each you'd have
basically I always used a house rule, and the RAW is a crap, if you let a displacement beast blind, prone and restricted, you still do a normal attack, what a shit

If you wish for effects that would normally grant Advantage/Disadvantage to stack or produce more impactful results than "rolling an additional die"(±3.325), you might reference earlier edition rules (3.5e) where each effect applied Bonuses and Penalties instead of simply not stacking or canceling each other out.
