Google search result list colors

I am having a lot of trouble lately telling which sites I have DLed when I
use Google. The color used to be fairly different between those I've looked
at and not looked at. Not looked at bright blue, and looked at more purple.
I changed monitors and now the colors are almost the same and I often DL a
site that I already looked at.

My question, is there a way to change either of these colors so they are
very different? If so, how?

Using XP Home and Firefox.

TIA

Ken,

I don't know about your version of FF, but under mine you can change them
under:
Tools (toolbar) - Options (selection) - Content (tab) - Colors (button).

Google uses its own colors for links. You can only change it using a browser
addon which override web page colors, such as those that change it to night
mode or other themes. You can also use Stylish which is designed for those
who know about CSS. It's more difficult to use and you'll have to create
your own color themes, but it's the most flexible and customizable.

I had the same problem with Firefox back in April. On April 28, poster
Good Guy, over on alt.windows7.general, gave me a fix which worked
great. I now have my visited links bright red, but you can select any
color. Here is the message ID for Good Guy's fix

I'm testing Srware iron browser to perhaps use it instead of Firefox.
Have any idea how to change the colors with it?

Ken,

I'm testing Srware iron browser to perhaps use it instead
of Firefox. Have any idea how to change the colors with it?

No idea, sorry. FF does pretty-much everything I need from it.

SrWare Iron is a derivative of open-sourced Chromium (upon which Google
Chrome is also based but Google added some proprietary code). The
navigation to find options in that web browser aren't the same as for
Google Chrome?

I don't have SrWare Iron. All of its so-called extra privacy are
settings you can change in Google Chrome. I don't need another web
browser simply to change away from some default settings. It's claim to
fame was the absence of the install-time tracking ID (aka client ID)
embedded in the web browser but Google removed that way back in 2010.
SrWare still claims absence of the install-ID as a "feature" despite not
in Chrome for quite a while.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRWare_Iron#Criticism

Also, many of the claimed "more secure than Google Chrome" web browsers
always lag behind in updates; that is, Google Chrome will receive
security updates that won't show up for months in the so-called more
secure derivatives. They claim the lag helps prevent encountering bugs
in new code but it also means not getting security updates, too, for
current threats. Actually the reason they lag is a much small resource
pool of manpower to produce, test, and support a newer version. The
best time to try one of those derivatives is right when they get around
to publishing a new release (to get as close as you can to the security
update level in Google Chrome).

So what does SrWare Iron have that I cannot do in Google Chrome:

https://www.srware.net/en/software_s...me_vs_iron.php
- Installation-ID: Gone since 2010 in Google Chrome.
- [Auto-]Suggest[ions] (from address): Configurable in Chrome.
- Alternate Error Pages: Configure Chrome to not resolve nav errors.
- Error Reporting: Yeah, also configurable in Chrome.
- RLZ-Tracking: Can't see how the program would ever know from where I
downloaded its installer. That's a disconnected event.
- Google Updater: Disable its Task Scheduler events.
WARNING: Chrome's Help - About to "check" for an update actually
retrieves and installs it UNLESS unless you have UAC enabled which
will show a prompt before allow. Mozilla did the same **** with
Firefox but eventually did just a check. See, UAC has some good use.
- URL-Tracker: Don't see this in my Chrome setup.
- Adblocker: But WHOSE adblocker and WHOSE blacklist(s)? I'd rather
pick my own adblocker add-on and select which blacklists to use.
- User-Agent: Don't waste time editing an INI file. Get an add-on.
- Preview-Thumbs: These tiles or speed-dialer wannabes are just noise.
I prefer a quick-loading, unfettered, and completely blank new tab.
The tiles aka thumbnails are a security issue: the site knows each
time you open a new tab when it connects back to the site to refresh
the thumbnail. Just more glitz to get rid of (if you can).

Oops, the config nav path that I gave before was for Firefox. In
Chrome, you once could edit a custom.css file to add a style directive
to specify what color to use. Apparently that went away and now you
have to use an add-on to change the visited link color.
