Why did I write this extension? I have a few web pages that I visit frequently. The pages have some useful links and of course some bad links. I will visit most of the visited links in the pages again to save time when looking for stuffs.
Unfortunately useless links do get marked as visited; sometimes I accidentally click them; and I must also visit new potential links to check their contents.
I used to open the History Window and removed any links that I found useless, and after doing it for too many times I decided to write an extension to make my life brighter. Okay the URLs in the history will be automatically removed after they expired, but this extension is still usable since useful links that get visited often will not expire anyway, unless you take a long vacation or something....
By the way, this extension is also useful to web page designers. Do you want to see the designed page with all links visited? unvisited?
