Editing websites locally

I think I read somewhere that you can edit the stylesheet of other websites locally on your computer. For example I'd like to edit the stylesheet of Facebook just for my own view. How can I do that? Is there anyway I can edit the original stylesheet CSS and tell my browser to read one locally instead of the original one?

I use the Stylebot extension for Chrome to apply custom CSS rules to specific websites. It has a great UI you can use to alter bits of the page without actually having to write CSS. You can write raw CSS if you want to though.

For example, I use it to hide the <div> containing comments on YouTube, so I never have to see pointless arguments between morons.

Some browsers allow you to write your own stylesheet but they are browser specific and I don't know if FF is included in them. However I do know that you can setup preferences in firefox. Below is a link on how to use your own stylesheet for Opera and IE

Either you do something browser specific (e.g. for Opera) or you use a proxy server that lets you rewrite requests that match a specific pattern (e.g. Charles).

You can use the Firebug plugin for Firefox. That allows you to edit the styles as you see them. Such a valuable development tool, I couldn't recommend it highly enough. I use it every day and no doubt other developers do too.

Google Chrome/Safari also has a great web development tool which offers similar features.
