'''Stylish''' is a user style manager that can change the appearance of web pages in a user's browser without changing their content by including user-supplied [[Cascading Style Sheets|CSS style sheets]] with those supplied by the web site itself. The Stylish [[browser extension]] includes tools with which to write user styles, and can install user styles written by other Stylish users from a companion website. These user styles may be more or less selective, targeting just one web page, or all of the pages on a [[Domain name|domain]], or every page on the web.

Stylish was originally developed by Jason Barnabe as an [[XUL]]/[[XPCOM]] add-on for [[Mozilla]] [[Firefox]]. A [[Chrome extension]] followed in 2010 <ref>{{cite web |title=Stylish for Google Chrome |last=Barnabe |first=Jason |url=https://forum.userstyles.org/discussion/17761/stylish-for-google-chrome |website=Userstyles.org |date=March 1, 2010}}</ref>, which was released for [[Blink (web engine)|Blink]]-based [[Opera (web browser)|Opera]] 15 in 2013<ref>{{cite url |title=Stylish for Chrome and Opera (15+) 1.2b |last=Barnabe |first=Jason |date=July 3, 2013 |url=https://forum.userstyles.org/discussion/36378/stylish-for-chrome-and-opera-15-1-2b |website=Userstyles.org}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Stylish extension - Opera add-ons |publisher=Opera Software ASA |url=https://addons.opera.com/en-gb/extensions/details/stylish/?display=en&page=3 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150425173412/https://addons.opera.com/en-gb/extensions/details/stylish/?display=en&page=3#c686335 |archive-date=April 25, 2013 |dead-url=yes

==Technical details==

User styles are CSS code designed to alter the appearance of one, some, or all sites. Stylish for Firefox can additionally style the skin of the browser itself, but the [[Android (operating system)|Android]] version does not support this because the user interface is built in native Android code. The styles are applied only to the targets specified. Individual user styles can be enabled or disabled without having to restart the browser.

User styles are added to the CSS rules provided by the site, but can also override the site's styling (often requiring the <code>!important</code> keyword for each replacement rule). The most common uses are ad-blocking, applying a new color scheme, and eliminating unwanted page elements.<ref>"[http://www.linux.com/archive/articles/61745 Make the whole Web look better with Stylish]," Nathan Willis, Mon 7 May 2007.</ref>

There are three classes of user styles. Site styles change the appearance of a particular web site. Global styles change the appearance of all web sites. App styles change the appearance of the Firefox user interface, only supported on Firefox. It is similar to the <code>userChrome.css</code> CSS file used by Firefox and Mozilla-based browsers.

==Privacy issues==

Since January 2017, following the sale of Stylish to Israeli company [[SimilarWeb]], the extension has contained tracking functions that sends information on all visited URLs and HTTP requests, and information contained on search engine results pages, to SimilarWeb servers. In July 2018, after these issues were publicized by a software engineer, Stylish was pulled from both the [[Chrome Web Store]] and [[Mozilla Add-ons]], as well as being automatically uninstalled for all existing users. <ref name="ars-stylish-banned">{{cite web|url=https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2018/07/stylish-extension-with-2m-downloads-banished-for-tracking-every-site-visit/|title=“Stylish” extension with 2M downloads banned for tracking every site visit|last=Goodin|first=Dan|date=2018-07-06|website=[[Ars Technica]]|publisher=[[Condé Nast]]|accessdate=2018-07-06|df=mdy-all}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/use-this-popular-chrome-firefox-add-on-google-mozilla-just-banished-it/|title=Use this popular Chrome, Firefox browser add-on?

==Alternatives to Stylish==
A [[userscript manager]] such as [[Greasemonkey]] or [[Tampermonkey]] can add a local style sheet to a web page by adding the style sheet content to an HTML {{code|lang=html|code=<style>}} tag and adding the tag to the page.<ref>{{cite book
|title = 4.13. Adding CSS styles
|last = Pilgrim |first= Mark
|work = Dive Into Greasemonkey
|year = 2005
|url = http://greasemonkey.win-start.de/patterns/add-css.html
}}</ref> User styles from [https://userstyles.org Userstyles.org] can be downloaded as user scripts for use with a userscript manager.

Alternative user style managers include [https://github.com/openstyles/stylus Stylus] and [https://github.com/FirefoxBar/xStyle xStyle], which are derived from Stylish for Chrome, [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/astyle_easy/?src=search aStyle], [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/get-styles-ch/?src=search Get Styles CH], [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/re-style/ reStyle], and [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/website-theme-manager/?src=search Website Theme Manager (WebExtension)].

In Firefox, user styles for web sites and browser chrome can be added by editing [http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserContent.css userContent.css] or [http://kb.mozillazine.org/index.php?title=UserChrome.css UserChrome.css], respectively.
