Cons

Frequent issues with CSS styles not being applied correctly or not reflecting changes until toggled off and on.
Extension crashes or stops responding frequently, causing inconvenience.
Problems with syncing styles, especially when using Google Drive for cloud synchronization.
Limitations in working with shadow DOM elements, restricting style injection in some modern web components.
