Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Color Links enhances how users navigate visited page search results on the web by allowing the user to select the color of the visited link. Color Links is an excellent enhancement for color deficient users. The ability to control the color of the visited site link, improves the visual comfort of the search by creating a color contrast that is appealing to the user.

Browsing search results on google.com can be overwhelming, especially when the default colors for referencing visited links can be similar for end users with decreased ability to discern colors. Multiple color options are available in this light weight extension that will help you immediately sort out your visited links. Color Links is not only light weight but it is only one click. One click and the visited link stands out giving you quick visual confirmation of where you have already been.

To get started, navigate to a page, toggle color links to the on (or green) position, and select your color. You can turn color links off at any time if you'd like by setting the toggle to off (or red).

24.8.31 It doesn't do anything. I don't know if this is because Chrome updated a few days ago. Maybe, maybe not. But I'm trying this visited links extension because the other one I was using stopped working recently. So maybe it is the most recent Chrome update that is messing with extensions like this. I hope someone fixes it soon. 24.9.10. Still does nothing. Clicked links remain undifferentiated from unclicked links. Useless extension. Very unfortunate.
