Extension summary

One-click button to mark all the links on the page as read.

This turns all links to the :visited color so you know what you've seen before and didn't want to click on. Useful for Hacker News, Product Hunt, Designer News, and Reddit.

  • Click the icon in the extensions bar once to mark all links as read
  • Click again to mark all links as unread (there's a small lag)

Note: This extension naiively adds every single anchor tag to your Chrome history (this DOES NOT mean it clicks every link). The result is it can flood your Chrome history with lots of links.

User reviews

I wish I could get this to work. Maybe there is some interaction between this and other extensions I have, no idea. All I do know is installing this and clicking the green checkbox button does absolutely nothing on any websites. Links are not changed at all, nothing is shown as visited or not visited unless I click it manually. Really wish this would work for me.

It worked well on my Mac's, but doesnt on my Home PC with Chrome

I'm not sure why others are claiming this doesn't work, since it mostly works fine for me. Sometimes some links don't stay read (not sure why), but the majority do, so it serves my needs enough.
