Firstly, ignoring the obvious security flaws which I'll get to in a bit, Stylish is a useless extensionin 2021.
Let me explain.
The way you download website themes is using a website called "userstyles.org," which hosts many different CSS based themes that you simply install and use.
Nowadays, in 2021, the website has been virtually abandoned by its owners, which are now SimilarWeb. This causes the official website to run slower than your grandpa's Windows XP Gateway computer that he claims still runs fine. Seriously. I did a test. All I did was type in the website link and start the timer. Ten minutes later, the website STILL was not loaded fully. I tried again with similar results.
Now, let's get to the elephant in the room- your privacy. SimilarWeb is a company known to the general public for providing web analytics to companies.
Yeah... Now, just by having Stylish on your computer, SimilarWeb gets a fully detailed record of your search history, advertisements targeted to you, etc. They do this by assigning your computer a special key.
Now, even worse, if you have an account with UserStyles, they can link all of that history to your email account. Pretty shady huh.
In conclusion, just don't even consider it. Just use the dark theme provided, which is what basically every theme on UserStyles was anyways. If not, just download a chrome extension or something.
Stylish/UserStyles isn't worth anyone's time.
Correction: The website (and by extension, the forums) actually HAVE been abandoned. Nice move.read more
