a{ color: red !important;} I’m not a marketing guy, I neither have requested advices from my marketing guys friends…I did it all my way and that’s why my brand new Chrome Extension will be forgotten in days!

a{color:red !important;} UPDATE Due to the introduction of the ltng:require, this post is no more a valid solution. Refer to the official Lightning documentation.
