When I do a search on google or visit Craigslist or where ever, the text link that I had visited remains highlighted. It doesn't matter if it's a day, week, month etc. it stays highlighted.
I use both Firefox and or Safari web browsers, same problem, and use OS X 10.11.1
Advice on how to rectify, would be appreciated.
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)
The link information is stored in browser cookies so either you would have to delete the specific cookies the information is stored in, or delete all cookies.
That's whet Private Browsing windows are for btw. Prevents browsing history traces.
You also want to clear browsing history.
Your response is appreciated, however, clearing the history is like doing this manually. I'll look into the cookies idea.
How this problem arose was, I had to do a clean reboot yesterday, so all the settings were whitewashed, and this was one of them, that I'm trying to reset, and was done a long time ago. The only part I can recall is in the address window, it started with about: but I don't recall the rest. It did work, and never had to make adjustments from time to time.
I searched the internet, which is where I got the info eons ago, but coming up with blanks.
Not sure why the green check mark appears, when it has not solved my problem.
how do I unhighlight text links after visiting a website?
