Google Chrome loads cascading style sheets specified on Web pages and uses them to style the Web pages. If you want to view how a Web page appears without its CSS style sheets, you can disable CSS in Google Chrome to see the unstyled Web page. Google Chrome doesn't include an option to disable cascading style sheets, but you can disable CSS on a per-page basis with a browser extension, such as Web Developer or Pendule.
