I wonder if Stylish is also able to data-mine the websites you visited while in incognito mode, since extensions don't work there.
Does anybody have an idea?
“Stylish” browser extension steals all your internet history

#152Is there an alternative to userstyles.org for hosting styles? That site is run by the Stylish folks, and I have removed my account and styles from it.

#153As others have said, immediately switch to Stylus. While we're at it stop using Ghostery as well since they were bought by an ad company. Use Privacy Badger or a decent alternative (noscript + heavy/custom uBlock lists should work just fine)
Honestly, the only reason I had Stylish installed was because multiple people on HN recommended it. So you'll excuse me if I don't "immediately" switch to the next random recommendation, especially if it comes with the reason that others in this thread are recommending it too! BTW your characterisation of Ghostery's relation to an "ad company" is incorrect. It's an odd enough situation that I'm not using it any longe…
Have you tried Dark Reader? I was using Stylus for dark theme only.

#154Sadly Stylus is not in the Safari's plugins store. Any alternatives for Mac users?
Use a real browser ? But (bad) joke aside, could you not use multiple browser instead of the just the one ? Stylus and Dark Reader are both available for Firefox and Chrome/Chromium.

Firefox's ability to transparently sync tabs between all your devices is useful but it's not up to speed with Safari's -- sometimes it takes MINUTES for it to sync.
I'd argue with you about what a "real" browser is all day but really, it boils down to -- I am not interested if the latest standards are implemented. Those latest standards are made by regular humans, and they do dumb crap all the time. So "newest" =/= "best".
I quite like Safari's Reading mode and Reading list (especially having in mind that it can cache offline things you put in the reading list; you can read all of those without internet).
I will concede however that it's definitely very behind in terms of addons. That's a weak point. And Firefox gets better and quicker constantly.
TL;DR: I use both Safari and Firefox heavily and I love both. But Safari is little better in terms of information management.

#156I've gotten annoyed enough to just copy the source from most of my extensions (located at `~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Extensions/`), remove the update stuff from the `metadata.json` and load them as developer extensions so they never update. It's easy enough to update them + audit the code when something breaks. The hardest part is downloading the new code (.crx) without installing it, I had to write javascript…
Would recommend this extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrome-extension-s...
Allows to easily audit and download the extension right from the Web Store page.

#157Ugh! After so many years, I now have to view a white-themed internet again. I forgot how painful and blindy websites are!
Pls redesign the whole internet to be dark themed, so we dont need add ons like this to fix the world. Thanks!
Re: “Stylish” browser extension steals all your internet history
#158It took me less than a minute to install Stylus and import all my userstyles from Stylish.
The headache for me was that the stylesheets are transferred, but the applied domains are not. I've got a system where I use a set of standard styles applied broadly against many sites. E.g., Annoyances -- applied globally to all websites by default: https://pastebin.com/raw/GrE9KX6D Local Gifs: https://pastebin.com/raw/tn7cqGtJ (Exceptions to global gif filtering) The following break on many sites too much to be app…
You must have done something wrong, of course the applied domains are also transferred. Maybe you didn't use the export function but just copied the source?

Not really. Though, https://openusercss.org/ is in development right now.
freestyler.ws is an unmaintained copy of userstyles.org

Freestyler might work.
https://github.com/openstyles/stylus/wiki/Stylish-Alternativ...
Don't know if it's maintained and can be trusted.
