Stylish - Custom themes for any website

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Stylish was the original add-on for restyling the web and it did so well for many years... Sadly, since Firefox was nerfed in version 57, things have taken a turn for the worse.

On initial update, it completely failed to port over any of my styles, and just presented me with a page saying "Oh yeah, we couldn't port these... Please do it yourself" despite Stylish having the functionality to import moz-format stylesheets. I had to copy-paste to manually import my two-dozen styles and I wasn't happy. Now in version 58 it's done it again... This is awful, and I have to try switching to Stylus to see if that's any better.

The toolbar UI also attempts to show a giant preview for every style, including ones that weren't installed from userstyles.org, so they just waste space so you can only see two at a time. All I want is a simple list showing me all relevant styles, and the ability to toggle and edit them.

Overall, I'm very disappointed in how Stylish has been treated since it was taken over by this so-called "SimilarWeb Ltd" which appears to simply be an analytics company.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (3.0.1).
