Stylebot for Chrome

Stylebot for Chrome is a nifty extension designed for quick UI changes for most web pages and sites. Pairing Stylebot with the browser immediately unlocks its capabilities, allowing you to play around with settings or turn your favorite news site into a more relaxing reading environment. If you are tired of how certain website themes are designed, you can always deploy Stylebot to change anything appearance-related.

The first option presented by Stylebot is Readability. This feature can be activated on any site, yet it might not have an effect on all of them. Readability removes any unnecessary element from a page and gives with a more digestible layout. Pictures related to articles are not going to be removed, however, and the text will be rearranged. Turning this feature off and refreshing the page brings you back to the default layout.

If reading is not your point of interest, click the Open Stylebot button to access the extension's full dashboard. The basic tweaks involve modifying the font, text size, line height, style, decorations, alignment, and colors. In case you prefer to change how the content of a page is positioned and focus on, let's say, the central area of a page, the Layout section might be of help.

Programmers can also enjoy Stylebot, especially since the add-on comes packed with a Code editor, perfect for anyone accustomed to CSS. This particular editor lets you select a page element and change its style as you see fit. Once an element is selected, its string will appear in the extension's UI. From there, the magic depends solely on you and your coding skills.

Stylebot for Chrome is a handy extension capable of redesigning your web pages. It targets both pro and casual users, as the predefined options are intuitive and easy to apply, while the CSS code editor will surely put a programmer's imagination to the test. As a downside, the add-on won't affect every site on the web, but it has decent coverage, yet this was to be expected.
