This extension allows you to change the color of your visited links

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).

James 2022-03-24 Thank you been looking for something like this for a while, you can supposedly change visited links color in the internet options in windows but it never worked. Microsoft don't care either that's pretty bad !
Mike 2022-01-19 It used to work well, but not working well on Windows 11 - Microsoft Edge browser. It's hit and miss. Sometimes it works, then it stops working
siren synapse 2021-12-30 Some better default colors would be nice. A bit fussy getting the custom color to stick, but works. Here is a hex generator to make your own colors! https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_colors_hex.asp Use sliders then copy the number given. I think you have to turn the extension on, then add the number, and save, to make it stick.

Simeon Kosnitsky 2021-11-29 This is a good extension but at some moment i have detected that it doesn't mark some of already visited links as visited. After finding source ( https://github.com/therynamo/color-links ) and checking how does it store already visited pages i have found that it use: chrome.storage.sync instead of chrome.storage.local. chrome.storage.sync is good if you wish to save history across devices but it is limited by MAX_ITEMS 512 ( https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/storage/#property-sync ) so you will can save only 512 already visited pages and no more. So i need to rebuild this extension somehow or use some another one (512 is too low).
