What Stylus does

Stylus injects custom CSS into pages you visit, changing how they look without touching the underlying site. You can install styles other users have shared, or write your own from a built-in editor, then toggle each style on or off per site.

Stylus free vs paid

Stylus is free to use, covering custom CSS injection, the built-in editor, and installing shared user styles. There's no separate paid tier for additional features.

Is Stylus safe?

Stylus needs to read and modify the pages you visit to apply CSS, which is required for any styling extension. Custom CSS itself can't run scripts or access data beyond appearance, but styles shared by other users should come from repositories you trust.

Stylus: FAQs

Is Stylus free?

Yes, Stylus is free, including the CSS editor and installing user-made styles.

Is Stylus safe to use?

It needs page access to apply CSS, which is normal for a styling extension; CSS itself can't run scripts.

What are Stylus alternatives?

Do I need to know CSS to use Stylus?

Not necessarily; you can install pre-made user styles, but writing your own requires basic CSS knowledge.

Community style repositories host styles you can browse and install for specific sites.

Can I turn off a Stylus style for one site only?

Yes, each installed style can be toggled independently per site.
