## What it is
Stylebot is an open-source browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge that lets users instantly change the appearance of any webpage by picking elements to style or writing custom CSS. It includes a readability mode, grayscale mode, dark/sepia themes, and style syncing via Google Drive.

## Use cases
- hide ads and clutter on any website
- apply dark mode to sites that don't support it
- write custom CSS to restyle webpages
- make articles more readable by removing sidebars and footers
- change fonts and colors on frequently visited sites
- sync custom styles across browsers via Google Drive

## When to choose
- you want per-site visual customization without editing site code
- you need a quick dark mode or readability tweak for any site
- you prefer a point-and-click element picker plus a CSS editor
- you want your custom styles synced or backed up across browsers

## When to avoid
- you need to modify page behavior or scripts, not just appearance
- you want site-wide styles managed by a userstyle manager like Stylus with community style repositories
- you need a non-browser environment such as mobile apps
