- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13367771, 7 years agoawesome replacement for stylish!!! and the one that keeps compatibility with firefox 52 and windows xp (this is my grandpa's pc and it's too old for windows 7 onwards)
please don't ever sell our information
- PS: for the people looking for custom and/or dark firefox options and about pages just install a theme that changes that, I have FT Deep Dark theme and "my favolours" style for a dark and non-eyehurting web experience
- PS2: One thing I liked from old stylish is that it had omnipresent application of global themes. With stylus sometimes is visible a white screen for a second after clicking a link. Also sites like this one and firefox start page are not included in stylus for global themes. If you could fix that it would be awesome. Thanks for your work - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13274409, 7 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by fushigi-kun, 7 years agoI am getting "This add-on requires a newer version of Firefox (at least version 55.0). You are using Firefox 52.0." But I am actually using Firefox 57.0! What sorcery is this?
Edit:
I downloaded version 1.1.4.2 of Stylus and was then able to update to version 1.5 from Firefox's add-on manager. Stylus add-on page still says my version of Firefox is 52.0, though. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13462234, 7 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13455665, 7 years agoPlease enable Firefox Sync to transfer styles between computers :)
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 6696096, 7 years agoThe only addon that gives the complete "Before-57" experience, and even more!
I was able to convert the broken Stylish.sqlite database, and import all my 70+ hand-made styles.
Everything works as intended. Thank you!
What about these two features:
1) customizing browser-specific pages (like about:home, context menus) or addon pages (w/o userChrome.css);
2) using the external editor to edit CSS (Notepad2, Notepad++, Brackets)?
Is it the matter of time, or these features won't be ever available with the Web Extensions API?Developer response
posted 7 years agoWebExtensions API cannot apply CSS to built-in pages or browser UI. See the Mozilla roadmap: https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebExtensions/RoadMapFirefox57#Theming - they're working on a limited Theming API, which is not CSS-based hence useless in Stylus, but other extensions will definitely appear that utilize it. - Rated 5 out of 5by cleverusername, 7 years agoThis addon is an excellent replacement to the now privacy-hostile Stylish addon. It has everything the original addon had and more, all without collecting your data on the sly.
But what really prompted me to write this review is the recent removal of the character limit on copying from the editor. This had bugged me so much in all the years I had used Stylish (and the short while I've used Stylus). I'm not sure when or why it was implemented, but it always felt like some weird DRM right there in the editor. Kudos to the Stylus team for taking that out. :D
EDIT: For people who want to style the Firefox UI and things like "about:" pages, you can use userChrome.css and userContent.css for those. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 6662518, 7 years agoNice to see the community keeping this addon in shape!
- Rated 5 out of 5by >>TEKTON<<, 7 years agoСпасибо за расширение.
Наконец то я его нашёл на замену переставшему работать Stylish*у
Использую в основном приложение для того, что бы резать ненавистную рекламу!
Сделайте пожалуйста возможность блокировать рекламу по определённым координатам.
Или что б можно было делать правила которые будут успешно "резать" блоки с рандомными ID которые очень мне мешают.
И сделайте что б счётчик работающих правил, отображался только на домене где эти правила работают, а не на всех открытых вкладках. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12563709, 7 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by ananda96, 7 years agoDon't know why i did not switch much earlier to Stylus (WebExt) :-)
Since brandnew Stylish version 3.0.1 (update to WebExt) is totally broken right now i encountered Stylus and it's way better than Stylish and has some very good options to handle styles.
If you follow the instructions to convert your styles to Stylus everything will work fine.
Some minus - if you change the values of an existing style you use on userstyles there will be no changes made when you klick "update style". only uninstall and reinstall with new values works.
for this reason 4 stars.
would be nice if the develeoper would change this. - Rated 5 out of 5by qtBoonie, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Kortirion, 7 years agoWorking great for me with userstyles and freestyler, at least now i have themes from this two sites working with only one add-on, thanks.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Miles B Huff, 7 years agoDoes not inject CSS.
Will not install styles from userstyles.org.

posted 7 years agoUsually this is caused by a legacy addon breaking WebExtensions API in Firefox before 57, but it's hard to say without a detailed bug report. - Rated 5 out of 5by serbanboanca, 7 years agoWorks great! It was a painless transition from Stylish for me. There's one little thing that bugs me though - I wish there were a black and white icon so that the Stylus icon wouldn't look so out of place on the toolbar.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13210473, 7 years agoI can't import my stylish.sqlite file, which is preventing me from importing all of my styles. Please fix and I'll adjust my rating.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Acairta, 7 years agoI loaded up Stylish to my homepage and waited a few minutes while watching the task manager. These are the results.

196,868 (High 243,542 - Low 183,516)

This is Stylus below, and yes I restarted the browser.
23,696

It kept jumping, constantly, between 241k and 401k it never settled for even a full second. (High 692,152 - Low 224,526)
Same here though not as bad, 131k-134k. (High 233,362 - Low 130,909)
Also at least on Fanfiction.net when viewing stories that have long chapters Stylus doesn't do smooth scrolling. It all goes black and then after a few moments loads the text as you go towards the bottom. Stylish doesn't have that problem. I also only have a single Style loaded up on Stylus while Stylish has three. Both have Global dark style - change everything to DARK. Stylish also has Youtube Umbra on and Fanfiction.net in DeepDark Style.
Turning off the one for Fanfiction resulted it Stylish still not having the problem with loading up long chapters like Stylus has. I know there are supposed to be improvements, but memory usage and stability isn't one of them. Yet. Hopefully this gets improvements and can one day be as good if not better than Stylish.Developer response
posted 7 years agoIf you compare to the classic Stylish for Firefox, it was able to use a special stylesheet API to register CSS styles in the browser, but Stylus is a WebExtension where that stylesheet API doesn't exist so Stylus has to add styles to the pages individually.
