Everything I was searching for, runs Live so you dont have to run every time you edit something,very nice suggestions while typing and other small features like colors are displayed in squares while typing names. The one of the best features is auto enable on websites. I have made dark theme mode for some websites, thanks to this extension! Awesome!!!

- (2019-06-01) Sharko Ots: On ne ne peut pas éditer les fichiers html locaux, mais appart ça l'extension est extrêmement utile et très bien réalisée.

- (2019-04-22) Siniša Petrović: Nice extension but, you can't use it in mobile view, because it's loaded inside the window. That's a big issue.
- (2019-04-12) Nancy M Schorr: Awesome! Fixed the Google Tasks problem with the canvas view being obsolete. Thank you! Here's what I did: 1) install this extension: 'Live editor for CSS, Less & Sass - Magic CSS' 2) put this css into the extension's css editor: .gb_gd,.gb_Md,.gb_od,.gb_Zb { display: none; } .brC-brG { width: 100vw!important; } .G4zhSc,.CTxcDf { width: 100%; } Set it to apply automatically (little icon at top of extension's window). To get it to work I need to click on the Extension icon in the address bar to activate it (not sure why), then press F12 to bring up devtools (not sure why either). That's it!
- (2019-04-11) Krystian Jakubowski: Best plugin for editing CSS styles, also handful LESS and SASS editor. Thank you for great plugin :)

- (2020-01-13, v:7.0.7) Ben Cheshire: Custom CSS for iframes overwrites the parent page's CSS too
When working in an iframe, if the parent page is refreshed, the custom CSS for the parent page will sometimes (but not always) be overwritten by the iframe's CSS. It's just a minor annoyance for me as I don't need the parent page to have custom CSS, so I just remove the entire block every time it happens. There was one occasion where the parent frame's CSS overwrote the iframe's CSS, luckily I already had a backup of the stylesheet. - (2019-12-31, v:7.0.7) Tojanna Creative: i cannot connect to the live css server
i cannot connect to the live css server, how to resolove ? - (2019-12-08, v:7.0.7) Мастер Дарий: sync or export
Please add sync or export. - (2019-08-19, v:7.0.7) Simon Edwards: URL changed, cannot access my code to copy/restore it to the new URL
Hello, Love the extension, I've been using it for a very long time. I'm running into an issue where the URL of a website I've heavily customized has changed its URL e.g. example1.domain.com to example2.domain.com which means all of my CSS got reset. Is there any way for me to access my old CSS which is still stored on example1? I cannot get to the old URL as it immediately redirects to the new URL so I'm a bit stuck, and I've got about 8 months worth of CSS stored in there. Kind regards, Simon - (2018-12-24, v:7.0.7) Moataz AbdAlmageed: Thanks for the awesome extension
Please add reset option to extension main menu ,because I typed this `body{display:none}` - (2018-08-04, v:7.0.0) How can I edit the css for an iframe?
I have ticked the 'Load for frame/iframe' option, but I still get only one instance of the editor for a page which contains iframes, and I can't select elements within the iframe. - (2018-07-10, v:7.0.0) Refano Pradana: can it block magnifier glass ui?
Can it block magnifier glass ui in ebay, amazon, aliexpress. Whenever I view the product viewer, the annoying jquery block the image. - (2018-06-12, v:7.0.0) Load current css file to edit
Perhaps I'm overlooking this feature, but is it possible to load the current .css file on a webpage to quickly make edits? - (2018-03-24, v:6.2.25) webdeve deveweb: Mobile responsive problem
Very cool plugin but when you use it for responsiveness of you can't move the location of the css editor - (2018-01-24, v:6.2.23) Aviad Priel: import sass files
