The link color feature lets you change the color of all clickable links on a website. Links are the text you click to go to other pages.

By default, links are often blue, but some websites use colors that are hard to see or do not stand out enough. With Helperbird, you can choose any color that makes links easier to find and read.


Who is This For?

This feature is helpful for:

  • People who have trouble seeing blue or other default link colors
  • Anyone with color blindness who needs links to stand out more
  • People who find it hard to distinguish links from regular text
  • Anyone who wants links to match their custom color scheme
  • People who read pages with poor link visibility

Step 1: Open Helperbird

Click the Helperbird icon in your browser toolbar. It looks like a small owl and is usually in the top-right corner of your browser.

This will open the Helperbird menu.

The Helperbird popup with Helperbird switched on, showing the quick actions grid and the All Features button


Step 2: Open the All Features Section

Scroll down to the bottom of the Helperbird menu. You will see a section called All Features.

Click the arrow next to All Features to expand it and show all available features.

Step 7: Choose Your Color

Once Links is turned on, a color palette will appear below the toggle.

Click on any color to select it. All links on the website will change to your chosen color immediately.

You will also see a Visited link color palette below it, so you can pick a separate color for links you have already clicked.

Tip: Choose a color that contrasts well with both the background and regular text. Bright or bold colors like orange, green, or purple often work well for making links stand out.

Helperbird helps enhance my studying and research efforts by allowing me to add sticky notes and highlight important stuff on websites, or e-books. I can also easily remember to read articles later.

Huge fan of the zoom feature. It trumps the native zoom in your browser since the zoom level you set actually stays with you no matter what page you go to, which is very helpful and meshes well with the other features the app offers.
