User reviews

Stylebot is a widely appreciated Chrome extension for customizing website appearance by overriding CSS. Users praise its simplicity, ease of use, and usefulness for removing unwanted elements and enhancing browsing. However, multiple reviews mention issues such as the extension failing to open or work properly in some browsers without restarts or disabling security features, bugs in selectors and context menu, occasional loss of saved edits, and limited support on certain platforms. Despite these drawbacks, it remains a valuable tool for both personal and developer use.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Stylebot requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.
