Add-on summary

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.
