The best option with unique functionality and excellent support
Excellent plugin! It lets you work with dark mode in a wide range of ways. Plus, it has something others don't: the ability to control when it activates automatically. It's fantastic!And the support service is amazing—attentive and incredibly fast.

Lightweight and effective
I tried several dark mode plugins and this one is a very good one, and it doesn't fill your website with a pile of extra code (and it does not "flash" when you go from light to dark).

Easy to setup, just works
It's an intuitive plugin with a modern interface that makes implementing a dark mode very easy. The only downside is that they haven't fixed CVE-2024-50466 yet.
