Title: Chrome - Links won't turn purple
Post by: Augs on January 17, 2013, 02:01:09 pm

So I am have this problem with my Browser doesn't want links to turn purple. I have tried clearing my history. I have tried system restore. The clicked link colour is definitely from the Non clicked link colour. The weird thing is, it fixes it's self after a while of browsing. Any help?

This is not a bug.

The link remains blue until the next page is fully loaded. If you click the "X" to stop loading (in the top left) or back arrow before the page is loaded, then the page will not highlight.

This is the way chrome works: If the page isn't in your history, then the link won't turn purple. Google links that aren't loaded all the way get a google URL, not the URL the link eventually points to.

Hope this betters your understanding!

Back arrows don't work... You MUST visit the same page again by way of navigation (I don't think refreshes work, but they might)

So why does it work after a while of browsing?

EDIT: Fixed, I got fire fox.

Chrome does not do that to me... Do you have the latest version?
