User reviews

Works great. Google link color differentiation is so un-friendly to people with even mild colorblindness. This extension fixes it great. I use it for Google search and Wikipedia links. Hopefully it gets updated to continue working with Chrome soon.

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.
