Visited Link Enabler - Firefox Add-On

"Visited Link Enabler" is a Firefox add-on that enhances your web browsing experience by enabling visited link colors on nearly all websites. This feature uses the color settings from your Firefox options, making it easy to identify previously visited links. This tool is particularly beneficial due to the human vision's optimal detection of dark red colors, which are less distracting compared to bright reds or greens. To get the most out of this add-on, it's recommended to manually adjust the color settings for personalized levels of comfort.

Enables visited link colors on every website for convinient browsing

it uses the color from the firefox options , look at the pics for explanation

naturally, human vision detects dark red colors the best without it being annoying, bright red is distracting as is bright greens. i use #990000 on pc and on android #992020 (becasue the phone´s screen is darker )

have fun :)

edit: on android there are no color options , you need to go to about:config and there edit you color manually look at the last image for explanation.. you can do this on desktop too if you want a special color.

Need Update asap. Many website visited link are not changing color anymore.
by Parash Mitra, 2024-11-27
Since many years one of my Must-Have addons. Unfortunately there are some issues on spiegel.de. Having read a newly published article appearing at the top of the page, it unfortunately tends to lose its 'read' color status at some point, when the article is moving down the page, often through several sections, until it eventually reaches its final home. AFAICT the article's URL remains the same during that relocation process, but apparently the different positions inside the page then seem to cause the loss of its 'read' status. Is this a shortcoming of FF or can there something be done about it in visitedlinkenabler?
