I use this to generate CSS code then create a style at http://userstyles.org/users/98352 for use in Stylish 1.2
I find Stylebots use of a form and click’n’pick selection easy to use, but prefer saving to Stylish.
Main thing you have to change in the CSS is adding “!important” to things.

Notes:
RSS: I now use Feedly via the web, no need for an extension.
Font Size: Chrome’s Built In Page Zoom and Minimum Font Size mean that there is no need for an extension.
Not perfect but with the occasional Stylish hack, workable.
