Reset clicked on web links

When reviewing documents posted to a web page it may be helpful to reset the links that have already been clicked and gone from blue to purple / black. During a second pass through the documents, it's helpful to be able to check them off one by one again.

Use Chris Pederick's Web Developer app for Chrome in order to reset the links without the bother of clearing your browsing history. It can be added here. A cogwheel icon will appear on the top task bar.

Click on the Miscellaneous section and select, 'Mark All Links Unvisited'. This add-in for chrome also includes a number of other useful tools

Get Histories from All Major Browsers

Another nifty utility from Nirsoft can pull the browsing history from all four major web browsers - Internet Explorer; Google Chrome; Mozilla Firefox; and Safari. BrowsingHistoryView can be downloaded for free here. It shows which URLs were visited; when they were visited; and how many they were visited.

You can choose to get the history from a specific date range, or target specific URLs.

Taking Screen Grabs with FireFox

Tonight's Tip of the Night was recommended to me by IT professional Marsha Harrison. As an alternative to the method using OneNote discussed in the Tip of the Night for May 16, 2018 , a FireFox web browser can be used to grab a portion of web page.

In the address bar click on the ellipsis at the right end. A menu will appear in which one of the options is 'Take a Screenshot'.

After this click, you'll see that by moving around your cursor you have the option to select specific images on a web page or click and drag whatever area you need.

After clicking on the 'Save' button on the lower right, a new tab will open with just the selected image.

You can then easily copy and paste it wherever you need it.
