WHAT DOES IT DO?

  1. Visited Links Marker changes the color of the link that you have previously visited according to your browser history
  2. you can choose any color
  3. you can choose which websites the extension will run on

WHY IS IT USEFUL?

  • If you read blogs, do research, watch videos etc., you will immediately see any articles or videos you have previously clicked on. So you don't have to consume them again.
  • It will be easier to navigate the website because the links you often click on will be a different color so you'll see them immediately.

Agreed with RedHunter! Saved -> then it all goes back to the original state. Why then?? What's your point.. Removed and picked up another extension.

Author doesn't answer questions nor does he seem to care about the extension. I therefore don't give a damn about him.

It doesn't remember your settings. It all goes to trash when you reopen Chrome: your custom color, your exclusion list... it sucks to set it all again every time.
