What is Highlight Links?

Highlight 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 Highlight links.


Click the toggle switch next to Highlight links to turn it on. The toggle will turn blue 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 a great little extension, lightweight and non intrusive. With dyslexia its reading that's an issue, not the underlying intelligence. An aid such as this one, can help deliver the world to some who may not otherwise have received it. Great Work.

A truly great extension! We installed this on all of our 200 Chromebooks across the 3 special schools i work in and it has greatly helped our students use technology to learn. It not only helps our dyslexic learners, but also our autistic and ADHD students by helping remove distractions and making the web a more accessible place. Support is fast and efficient, and updates are very regular with new features constantly being added!

Helperbird is an excellent extension supporting a range of learning differences. Aside from providing many evidence-based dyslexia-assistive tools, the extension also functions as an easy-to-use, feature-rich web experience customization tool suitable to support a wide range of cognitive differences (i.e., color blindness and ADHD-related focus concerns, among others). Also, the developer is a very good person who supports the various learning-different communities in many ways, including by designing the free version of Helperbird to provide enough functionality to be beneficial to people who cannot afford to subscribe to the full-function version.
