Caution: StyleFix breaks BrowserSync stream reloading

[lastant]

StyleFix converts <link ... /> into <style ... /> , and this breaks BrowserSync automatic style refresh. As a result, BrowserSync stylesheet reloading doesn't work, one needs to fully reload the page.
This is probably a wont-fix, but still good to know for some people.

Yeah, I can’t think of a way around this. I guess it could be possible to retain compatibility if we kept the original link around as well but disabled it and had a mutation observer for changes to its href (if that’s how Browsersync does its refresh)?

I just looked a bit deeper, and seems BrowserSync does analyze <style> too, but for some reason ignores my converted styles.. Here is the code:
