Steve Pittinger (ID: 00000071bed2e499) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/09/2014 This extension should just remove the underline from anchor tags, and not all occurrences of underlining. I had to disable to see legitimate occurrences of underlining, which means the ugly link underlines came back. Unfortunate oversight.
