Useful and very lightweight plugin
I have tested most of dark mode plugins in the public WP repo. Most of them are bloated and load too much JS and CSS, for me absolutely unusable.After I tried this I stopped testing as it has all the features I need and loads next to nothing. 10KB compressed, that's hard to beat it.I hope they will make an update, at least confirming that it is fully working with the current version of WP.

BEST Dark-Mode Plugin
I tested several dark mode plugins and found this one to be one of the best. The noteworthy aspect is that it offers numerous settings even in free mode. With a simple switch, it transforms the site into a dark theme. Additionally, it includes a visually appealing switch skin, which i like. 5 stars!

Didn't work on mobile for me
Switch appeared in desktop browser (Safari) but not mobile (again, Safari). Don't know if the function actually works in desktop, because I use Noir, and I'm already in dark mode all the time anyway. But it definitely didn't work when viewing my site on my iPad for whatever reason.
