Links that look exactly like the words around them

A faint color shift alone doesn't say “this is a link.” Guests with color blindness or low vision never realize it's clickable.

Links that look exactly like the words around them

What it actually is

Removing the underline and giving links only a faint color difference, for a cleaner look.

Who it shuts out
