The class of attacks that are now possible are often called CSS Exfil attacks The issue (apart from needing websites that are already not robust from a security viewpoint) also assumes you are allowing CSS from untrusted sources (not your own Stylish snippets). I stand to be corrected, but I think the use of Stylish is still safe, albeit your page display might get messed up, and maintenance can be a headache.
