Technical question here, got a suggestion?

MS just "upgraded" my Edge browser. Now, when I click links in RHP, they don't darken.

I find this frustrating as hell. And, btw, if I google something and have pages of links, when I click on them, they darken, as it should be. What the heck gives with this at RHP?

Also, I right click to open links in a new tab. But it doesn't matter either way.

Thanks in advance.

What links?
What is “darken”?

Star top corner? Are you on the phone?

Link - Any subject you click on in this forum is a link.
Normally, after you click it, it darkens. (dark green vs. a lighter green) to let you know that you have opened that link.

Nope, not on phone. The "Star" is "favorites", that cannot fix this. but thanks.

The Moon symbol?

The only suggestion I have is to use a real browser.

Websites can use styling to make the links look however they want.

In the beginning of the Inter-webz, not-yet-followed links were blue, and previously-visited links were purple.

Then some overly-aesthetically-minded people decided they did not want to be stuck with those colors.

So now each webmaster can make them whatever color they want, including the same color.

I am not sure if there is a work-around. I may do a bit of research on it...

That's dark mode, which I use, but thanks

I used to use Chrome but I hate google. I used Firefox, too. But when I got the new 'puter, I used edge and found it to be good. Maybe I'll go back to firefox. I hope it is easy to get my favorites into it.

Thanks. I use dark mode so for me, threads here are dark green that get darker after they are used. Well, they used to , anyway.

The nice thing about Firefox is that it has a built-in option to always make followed links the color of your choice!

LOL....I like that answer!

Following on to what BDP wrote about some websites overriding the default link-coloring behavior:

You might be able to add an extension to override their override. 😉

I would search for a suitable extension using the keyword "links".

I haven't used Firefox in years, that one still around!
