Link Control Extension

No more trying to tell the difference between blue and dark-purple at 2 a.m.

Easily customize the color of your visited links by selecting from a range of predefined colors or choosing your own custom color.

Use the included blocklist to prevent Link Control from running on certain sites, or, if you prefer, use the allowlist to enable Link Control only on certain sites.

Good for users who have a tough time with colors or who are color-blind, as you can choose exactly the color you want for your visited and default (non-visited) links.

For me, I work a lot at night and have a tough time distinguishing those regular blue links from the purple visited links. It started costing me time so I decided I would make this extension to help out myself and others.

hack me “hackersgetlife” if you can (ID: 000000b36bf096a7) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/24/2023 I am having an issue in Chrome on most sites, but not all sites all the time. I have used this extension for years with no issues until recently (. I don't understand why it wont even work in the extension store or other google based pages now. I am really not sure what has changed so prevent what was an awesome tool from continuing to stay awesome, but I am forced to have to try another developer's extension to see if it is a problem with the general functionality within Chrome settings or if it can be isolated to an issue with just Link Control. Please let me know if you have changed code that is where the issue is based. Thank you.
