Recently I discovered that Stylish has an ad right on its configuration page. The rough issue description can be found here https://github.com/350d/stylish/issues/38. I sincerely respect efforts of the author but I sill would like to remove the ad or drop the app. So, why doesn't uBlock work on this pages? Yeah, sure, it can break things and cause even more issues. Maybe consider implementing a switch in advanced settings menu? A little banner is just a start, isn't it. We're not even talking quality of the ad (the software that's being promoted). What if there will be more of this in the future. Like, when Mozilla put a tracker on their addons page. So is there an option to block this ad or is there an alternative for this extension like https://github.com/openstyles/stylus but for Safari? Thanks for the answers!

Just had the same thought - i noticed the "MacKeeper" ad on the Stylish management front-end.
