It's too bad that this very popular addon has also been bought and destroyed, by turning it into
spyware, like so many other great stuff from the early internet era. Along with countless userstyles on userstyles.org it seems. Or perhaps it's only my old machine which can't access them anymore, not quite sure, but at any rate the domain was also bought by the same spying company.

Stylish was once a great way to remove annoying features from websites—trending topics on Facebook, say, or that annoying bar that follows you as you scroll on Medium. To do this Stylish, the browser extension, needs access to every website you visit.
Which is why SimilarWeb, an analytics company, purchashed Stylish in 2017. SimilarWeb had no interest in customizing websites; it only wanted access to a browser extension with extensive permissions—to add a little spyware and access all of that delicious data directly.

Stylish’s transition from visual Valhalla to privacy Chernobyl began when the original owner and creator of Stylish sold it in August 2016. In January 2017 the new owner sold it again, announcing that “Stylish is now part of the SimilarWeb familyâ€. The SimilarWeb family’s promotional literature lists “Market Solutions To See All Your Competitors’ Traffic†amongst its interests.
Today the addon is back on mozilla.org, but only the newest version, all old ones are deleted. One can guess why.
Have read that the current owner, the spying company, has not removed the trojan stuff at all, instead they admit it openly now in their legal notes, which is supposed to be 'okay' again. Incredible again.
Incidentally I had saved in Jan.2017 the
last clean version Stylish 2.0.7
Stylish 207 dates from August 2016 and was the last version from the original creator and maintainer.
I think it is safe to use this older one - as long as you can make sure that it doesn't secretly update itself to the new spyware version from Mozilla again!
Have attached version 207 to this post for download:
http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/file.php?9,file=1794,filename=stylish-2.0.7_xpi.7z
Be aware this is the pure, unmodified version downloaded straight from Mozilla, no K-Meleon tweaks inside. It just lay around unused on my disk for 1-2 years.
