I have the same problem, and there are so many websites that do this!
I started using dark-mode plugins for my browser and found that it made a lot of sites more accessible. Flipping black text to white makes the blue link stand out a lot more, and adds a lot of contrast when interacting with other elements on the site.
I'd imagine this actually is a big issue! A day filled with this annoyance is probably so grating and exhausting, which adds up. I'm glad you've both found workarounds that help, but I hope more web devs start to take notice of this. Sounds like it would make for an informative segment in a future episode of the DevDiscuss podcast!

Well, it's not a big thing but I'm color-blind and some websites render links only by a change of the foreground color, like here :

It's a bit annoying and it's one of the reasons I use the "reader view" feature of Firefox.
So if you design a website, please make sure to use a text decoration for your links (underline is good)
