    I suddenly got narrow green instead of wide green (using Chrome).

    The "Stylish" extension had been switched off - possibly due to it no longer meeting Chrome Web Store policy.

    To switch it back on, click on the three dots at the top right of a Chrome window then choose "More Tools", "Extensions" and look for the "Stylish" tile shown below. Move the slider bottom right from left to right to switch it on. You may need to exit Chrome and re-open for it to take effect.

    I would guess that other browsers have something similar.

    Use the extension Stylus instead of Stylish

    Make sure you're on the green 'New masthead, fixed width' forum skin.

    Install the 'Stylus' extension;

    Firefox

    Chrome

    Download & install the max width style for MSE from here;

    Is there any alternative to 'Stylus' which mysteriously disappeared from My Chrome yesterday?
    (I have read the threads about what it was doing and do not want to reload it.)

    I too much prefer the green stretched format.

    When you go to install it gives the message that it can ''read and change all data of the websites you visit''

    Isn't this what was happening with previous app?

    Of course it does - it's the whole point of it. It reads all the data from the MSE page and changes it to display full width.
