It'd be kind of interesting to have a "dark mode spider" that crawls the Web and checks to see what percentage of websites support the browser-requested dark mode. I'd be kind of curious to see how far along we are.
I mean, people have done it for stuff like IPv6 support for a while.
Didn't Google's lighthouse have a metric for that? "Colour Contrast ratio" or something?
Not familiar with it.

Oh, it's a tool that you run on one page, rather than a spider to try to gather statistics on the Web as a whole. But, yeah, that run en masse could maybe gather that kind of information.
