How can I change the visited links color in Chrome?

Question

I use Google Chrome Browser and I find the unvisited and visited links colors are too close each other. They are very hard to distinguish, at least to me.

I tried the old approach of modifying the Custom.css configuration file in Chrome's user data folder and no change occurred.

I'm open to solutions which include javascript code or css settings which I can run/modify in the developer's window (F12), even though they are not permanent settings.

Here's a solution that works for all platforms and for all versions of Chrome.

1. Install the Stylist extension.
   EDIT: Stylish extension (that extension was no longer available, this alternative should work.)

2. Click SETTINGS in Chrome

3. Click EXTENSIONS

4. Find the Stylist extension and click OPTIONS

5. Click STYLES

6. Click ADD NEW STYLE

7. Where it says "Style Name", name the style

8. Click the ALL SITE check box

9. Where it says "Stylesheet Text", copy and paste the following:
   A:visited { color: red ! important }
   

10. Click SAVE

11. Find a page with visited link, refresh, and you'll see the new color.

You can find colors you like here, and you can also use a color code like rgb(255, 0, 0) in place of red.
