CSS-Block: Block CSS for a Faster, Cleaner Internet

'CSS-Block' is a Chrome extension designed to enhance the internet browsing experience by blocking CSS files. These files are often unnecessary, providing only aesthetic flair and consuming significant bandwidth. More importantly, CSS files can potentially hide or obscure content, and load additional resources like fonts, images and vector graphics. By using CSS-Block, these concerns are effectively mitigated.

This app has a stupid description and it is pretty useless. 1. You can turn off CSS in your browser settings, you do not need an extension. 2. To claim CSS "slows down internet" or can carry viruses is either just lying or shows that author doesn't understand how CSS works.
