Stylebot is a Chrome extension which allow users to adapt the web’s appearance to their preference by creating custom CSS. It aims to improve the accessibility and adaptability of the web, both for users who’re not familiar with CSS and advanced CSS users.

Using Stylebot, users will be able to:

1. Incrementally build the custom stylesheet for Chrome.
2. Save custom CSS rules for a site / group of sites, so that the next time they visit it, their custom CSS is already applied.

Check out this brief demo video to see Stylebot in action:

Stylebot was created as a Google Summer of Code project by Ankit Ahuja, a computer science student in New Delhi, India.

Googler Rachel Shearer wrote the following today on the company’s blog:

“For example, a Stylebot user with special reading needs might change a webpage by removing images, picking new text and background colors, and even moving blocks of text around. And Stylebot saves the custom style they create, so the next time they access that page the changes will still be there. Even better, they can sync their saved styles across computers so that webpage will always appear with their preferred style.”

This project is being developed as part of Google Summer of Code 2010 by Ankit Ahuja, mentored by Rachel Shearer.
