Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
WATCH: Shredding On The Google Guitar!
Chromium nighly build adds support for custom user stylesheets -- like shutup.css
Not until I decided to give it a go and dump in shutup.css -- the stylesheet Jason wrote about previously which mutes comments on loads of sites like YouTube and Digg. Ba-da-bing! After re-launching Chromium with the command line parameter added (--enable-user-stylesheet), all those *cough* insightful comments on YouTube videos are history!
If you're a DIY type and love hacking and customizing your browser, this is great news. Remember, it's in the Chromium nightly builds [download link] only for now -- but it could certainly hit the developer channel soon.
Not sure how to add a command line parameter to your Chrome or Chromium shortcut? Check our guide! Once that's done, head to your Chrome preferences folder (likely in %localappdata%\Chromium) and create a new folder in your Userdata\YourProfile folder called User Stylesheets. Create your custom.css file there and add your hacks!
One note: Chromium doesn't currently monitor the file for changes, so you'll have to exit and re-launch to see any edits you make after launching.

Tip: UserStyles.org supports converting userstyles into userscripts that Chrome supports natively as extensions. No command-line arguments required!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Chromium does not have "Nightly" builds. Right??

Technically no, the buildbot just rolls them out whenever...but Google does list this as the page title:
Chromium nightly build - continuous build and test farm

I have been doing this a while in the beta and dev channels of Chrome itself with the excellent Advanced Page Injector extension. With this you can also add css by site, similar to Stylish on FF.

Official maker of Stylish Fx-addon and Userstyles.org Jason Barnabe has made just week ago Stylish extension for Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/fjnbnpbmkenffdnngjfgmeleoegfcffe
Also I found just today that there is another similar extension called "Chrome Stylist" https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/pabfempgigicdjjlccdgnbmeggkbjdhd Don't know is this anyway better then "official one"
Juliana: yes, userscripts are also good, but problem is that there are slower to load then userstyles. Userstyles loads on site almost instantly and userscripts takes couple secounds more to load. If you don't mind that, that's good, but I do because it's sometimes annoying.
