What am I supposed to be observering? In the image below my mouse was hovered over the last link. When the descender is largely perpendicular to the text, like p or j, there is a nice balance between what is below and what is above the underline. But with g, the most frequently appearing descender in english, the look is not as nice.

(Look for attributes in the HTML starting “data-smart-underline”.) For whatever reason, they don’t seem to be using the same technique with the links in the area you screen-capped there.
