How can I mark a website as read?

I am currently looking to rent a house, so I am looking at a lot of apartment listings. I would like to be able to mark a listing as "read" such that if I visit it again, there will be an indicator that this page has already "been dealt with".

I found an extension "Mark as Read" that seemed to do what I needed, but it seems to have been discontinued.

Is there any way I could achieve this?

Solution 1:

Allows the user to tick off a website by clicking on the extension icon.

If the page is unchecked it will look like this:

If the page is checked it will look like this:
