How to Emphasize Links on Any Website

Learn how to make links more visible on any website using Helperbird. Emphasize links with underlines and styling to make them easier to find.

What is Emphasize Links?

Emphasize Links makes all clickable links on a webpage more visible by adding clear styling like underlines. Many websites remove underlines from links, which can make them hard to find. This feature ensures you can always spot links easily.


Who is This For?

This feature is helpful for:

  • People who have difficulty distinguishing links from regular text
  • Anyone with low vision who needs clearer visual cues
  • People who prefer consistent link styling across all websites
  • Anyone who finds it frustrating when links are hard to identify
  • People with cognitive differences who benefit from clear navigation

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.


Step 2: Go to 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.


Look through the list of features until you see Emphasize links.


Click the toggle switch next to Emphasize links to turn it on. The toggle will turn green when it is enabled.

All links on the page will immediately become more visible with clear underline styling.

Tip: Combine this feature with the Link Color feature to make links stand out even more with a custom color.

This is my first google review ever! I have to share that the accessibility and support for independent access for students that Helperbird provides, is a game changer. It is constantly being updated with new features based on feedback and it is extremely user friendly. The ability to customize the settings allows students to have control over their own learning, aligning with Universal Design for Learning. Looking forward to sharing with students and fellow educators on a daily basis. Thanks, Helperbird team!

This chrome extension is absolutely amazing. I'm a Primary school teacher and it helps children with a broad range of needs. It's so easy to set up. I love the way it syncs across devices so set up is seamless across all the children's computers. The customizable features are a game changer for allowing children to enjoy reading and accessing the web in our school. The best application I have ever seen for school children. Looking forward to trying the iPad application soon.

I got this tool as an extension to try out first of all. I was amazed at what it can do in terms of accessibility. I have shown my friends and brother who suffer from dyslexia and they have all downloaded the extension. Great step forward from a company looking to help people!!
