1. Go to `about:support` and click the "Open Folder/Show in Finder" button for the root directory of your browser profile/s.
2. Download and copy the `chrome` folder into the profile folder.
3. Go to about:config and change these preferences:
###### For all operating systems:
1. `toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets` = `true`
2. `svg.context-properties.content.enabled` = `true`
3. `layout.css.color-mix.enabled` = `true`
###### On macOS:
~~1. To use the Edge style context menu on macOS then set `widget.macos.native-context-menus` = `false`~~ **(Not Implemented Yet!)**
