I found a browser tool on r/webdev today: Link Control (Chrome/Firefox).
It’s a simple browser extension which uses the web’s localStorage API. It applies a new color to all visited links (a:visited).
I find it neat, as it clearly shows which sites you’ve already visited.
You can blacklist sites where you don’t want to apply this custom CSS hack.

- r/webdev: I got tired of not being able to distinguish visited google search results from unvisited ones (that blue and dark-purple are so similar at 2AM) - so I made an extension named Link Control to help with that. It ended up being something I now consider vital for all my internet use.
