Maybe you can change the shade of blue that is used by default. gfmueden: Most browsers allow you to modify your preferences to display a link in any color.

Better yet would be to go back to the underline. Alas, Microsoft, in its "undoubted wisdom" seems to love blue and for some links uses white on blue, which is even worse. WinXP lets me sett to a high contrast white on black, but some things excape it from time to time.
