This used to work. For example: on elevenforum.com if I click a thread then go back an see it in the list of topics, it would be changed to a darker shade of gray. Or CTRL+click to open in a new tab, then look back at the previous tab, the link would be a darker shade of gray. Other Forums too, and pretty much all websites.

But suddenly it doesn't anymore! (The only site I can find that it does still work on is Google.com)

- Tested in Firefox, Chrome, and Edge.
- Tested on three different machines so far (two Win11 and one Win10).
- Tried rebooting, no change.

I use Chrome's extension Link Control to handle links in my Microsoft Edge browser. It works everywhere for me except on Amazon.

Now that you pointed that out, I can kinda see "bold to light" on this forum, but not other sites... Still have no idea why it suddenly changed behavior.
I ended up installing a Firefox add-on called "Gray Visited Links". Doesn't look exactly like it used to, but it's way better than "bold to light" or nothing at all.
