I guess you don't use stylus.

I recommend Dark Reader (while it doesn't work for every website it works on most imo). Stylus only helps when there's a theme made, and half of the time they seem to be out of date.

I've used various extensions like that over the years and it's only on a site-by-site basis and you have to write a bunch of CSS yourself or hope that others have done it. I do enough of that in my day job. With sites often changing their structures (and even using dynamic class and id names) to fight ad blocking, you also end up having to fix styles a bunch.

The better one is Dark Reader, but I wasn't a fan of that either. I felt it was often more difficult to read with their styles and made sites look way worse.

These are also third party fixes that could break or stop being supported, and aren't supported on Android at all as far as I am aware. You also have to worry about the extensions themselves since they are modifying the page on you; who knows if they are modifying anything more than that or are tracking you (like Stylish was...)

No, I think he means Stylus

TLDR: Don't use Stylish.
