Color Links Extension

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).

Make Name Acceptable Go (ID: 00000067bb50e922) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 12/11/2023 Works ok, basically as described, but... A. I don't really want to have to activate it every single time I go to a new website. I'd like a global version. Turn it on and all sites act the same. B. Several websites (including the Chrome Web Store) seem to ignore it. C. I'd like to be able to save my hex colors to the extension's color board so I can switch between them. So I'm going to remove this extension and try others, but I may be back if nothing better shows up.

Scott Fredrickson (ID: 000000976ae91a3a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/03/2023 Running as advertised on Chromium v112 on Linux Mint 21.1, including custom colors. It must be activated on each site, one site at a time it seems (left click, slider to right/green), but is VERY much appreciated on search engines. Universal activation would be delightful, but it is FAR better than Google defaults. Documentation could be better, but it isn't that difficult to figure out. Thank you !!
