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.

Make Name Acceptable Go (ID: 00000067bb50e922) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/15/2023 Using it a few days. Seems to work well. I haven't tried to change my initial colors, so no idea if the problem another reviewer mentions still happens. About my only suggestion would be for a simple "off/on" toggle on the options. So far no reason to turn it off, but I can imagine some sites may be an issue. When they are, being able to stop it with a click or two would be handy. On can obviously just disable the app or blacklist a site, but it'd be handier to have a one button solution.

R. (ID: 00000069616a9f03) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/19/2023 Changes made will not stay. This is a great extension, but when you pick that first initial color that you want visited links to be, make sure it's exactly the color you want because you won't be able to change it. Sure, it'll look like you're changing it, and while you're browsing in that particular session, visited links will be the color you most recently "saved". But the next time you startup your computer and open Chrome again, the visited links color will have reverted to the very first color you chose. I initially chose a kind of brown color as the visited links color, but it wasn't showing up as well as I'd like, so I changed it to a light blue. The next time I started up Chrome, visited links were brown again. Of course I click 'Save' after changing the color to light blue. But after the computer is shut down and a new day begins, the links are brown again, which is why I put "saved" in quotes; new settings aren't actually saved. I have to change the color back to light blue every time I open Chrome for the day. It's a pain and I hope the makers read this review and fix the problem. Thus far it is the ONLY problem I have with this app; the app is otherwise wonderful.
