History
Stylus was forked from Stylish for Chrome in 2017{{cite web|url=https://github.com/openstyles/stylus/tree/458daf0836c00be329b47522906d10fd449ff6b4|title=GitHub - openstyles/stylus at 458daf0836c00be329b47522906d10fd449ff6b4|work=Github|date=January 8, 2017}} after Stylish was bought by the analytics company SimilarWeb.{{Cite web|url=https://forum.userstyles.org/discussion/53233/announcement-to-the-community|title=Announcement to the Community|website=forum.userstyles.org|date=3 January 2017 |language=en|access-date=2020-03-22}} The initial objective was to "remove any and all analytics, and return to a more user-friendly UI."{{Cite web|url=http://add0n.com/stylus.html|title=Stylus|website=add0n.com|language=English|access-date=2020-03-22|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170315135808/http://add0n.com/stylus.html|archive-date=2017-03-15|url-status=unfit}} It restored the user interface of Stylish 1.5.2{{cite web|url=https://github.com/openstyles/stylus/blob/458daf0836c00be329b47522906d10fd449ff6b4/manifest.json|title=stylus/manifest.json at 458daf0836c00be329b47522906d10fd449ff6b4 · openstyles/stylus · GitHub|work=Github|date=Jan 8, 2017}} and removed Google Analytics.
In 2024, Stylus may have been removed from the Chrome Web Store in accordance with new policies preventing Manifest V2 extensions if it had not been updated to Manifest V3.
