While some websites today have included support for Dark modes or other specific colors or themes, many still lack this feature. Stylish enables users to take website design into their own hands and change the look of almost any website they wish. This includes social network destinations such as Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and Baidu, popular web email clients, YouTube themes, and others.

Visual elements of websites that can be slightly tweaked or completely replaced are backgrounds, fonts, animations, color schemes, and more. Addon comes with the support for numerous themes, which can be easily enabled, disabled, edited, or deleted, but the app also has full support for creating brand new website themes using a built-in CSS editor.

The community aspect of the app has grown to encompass many forms of interactions between its large userbase. The core of the community is centered on theme sharing, and if you are not skillful with CSS design, you can even request a theme for a particular site, and bee on a lookout for a Stylish user who will do the work for you. You can also engage in commenting, suggestions, promotion, and creating connections with users from all around the world.

Installation and Use
