why is this even on the top? no offense but it is a css stylesheet.

It's so unusual a thing to do that it becomes clever for that reason. Maybe other things too—I haven't looked. But I'd say it passes the "interesting new phenomenon" test (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). Small things can do that as easily as big ones, if not more.

Why is it a Chrome extension instead of just a bit of CSS in one of the many custom CSS extensions that already abound?

Indeed. Appears the "stylish" extension and/or https://userstyles.org would be a natural fit for this?

It'd probably be simpler to do this as a userstyle, since there are many extensions supporting userstyles. Still, if you prefer the WebExtension format that Chrome provides, it's worth noting you could trivially release the same extension for Firefox and Edge, since I'm sure all of the APIs this uses are compatible.

Sweet, will definitely look into this.
