Stylus is a user style manager, a browser extension for changing the look and feel of pages.

History

Stylus was forked from Stylish for Chrome in 2017[1] after Stylish was bought by the analytics company SimilarWeb.[2] The initial objective was to "remove any and all analytics, and return to a more user-friendly UI."[3] It restored the user interface of Stylish 1.5.2[4] and removed Google Analytics.

Reception

Martin Brinkmann reported in May 2017 that "Stylus works as expected".[5] As of December 2020, Stylus had more than 400,000 users on Google Chrome and nearly 70,000 users on Firefox.[6] [7] At that same time, it had an average rating of 4.6 stars on the Chrome Web Store and 4.5 stars on Firefox Add-ons.
