I have been playing around with Chrome as I am thinking of switching browsers but am having a hard time figuring out how to eliminate the underlines in links when using that browser. I imagine I am missing a setting somewhere and hope that some Chrome users on here can point me in the right direction. Hopefully there is a solution as I could not use the browser if not.

You need to define the following for its' class.

text-decoration: none;

Other than that, Firefox Quantum is the bomb.

Thanks for your response Netrix. Where would I define the class? It appears that it happens no matter where the link shows up. Would I have to define the class in more than one place?

I have been a Firefox user forever, and would use Firefox Quantum except that some of the plugins I was using no longer work with Quantum. Specifically, FireFTP and FirefoxReminder don't work and I have become so dependent on those two extensions that I can't do without them. That's why I am testing Chrome.

You could try setting it as:

a {
text-decoration: none;
}


If that doesn't work, and it becomes a particular class that only gets underlined, Right-Click link and inspect element. Observe the class being used and alter your themes css to include the text-decoration change.

If you wish for the link to not underline when your mouse is placed over it, simply do the following:

a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
}

I just uninstalled Chrome as I started getting messages that my computer was infected when clicking on specific sites. Not worth the hassles at this point. I may have to resort to using Edge or Internet Explorer.

Thanks again for getting back to me.

afoster - Google Chrome is a good browser. It seems to me that you just could not understand the settings of this browser. At you, probably function is included: Protect your device from dangerous sites. Personally, I disable this setting in the section: Advanced - Privacy and Security.

Thanks for your post zizub...I'm not saying Chrome is a bad browser, I just cannot stand the hyperlinks to be underlined and no one could tell me how to fix that. As for visiting dangerous sites, that was a probably a one time thing but when I couldn't fix the underline issue, it was not worth it for me to keep using it.

Do you want the browser to change css styles of other people's sites? If so, then you need to look for a third-party extension for Chrome. Something like: Stylebot, Styler, Live CSS Editor, or similar. You can search here https://chrome.google.com/webstore/ca...extensions I do not use them, so I can not help you.

Thanks for your input, but as I have stated before, it is not worth the hassle to fix something that every other browser has fixed. I understand that it is a quirk of mine that I cannot stand underlined links, but there you have it.
