I miss blue for links and purple for visited links. I think Google still does it (which is great for the nostalgic of the webs), but today links are mostly buttons/images and not text anymore.
I remember also, in the 90s, was quite popular yellow text against a black/dark blue background. The old days!
- timw4mail 5y agoThe fact that the :visited state of links was gimped due to privacy issues doesn't help much either. It used to be any visited link would look visited, regardless of the website. This made it possible to see where a user had visited across the web, and so visited links only apply to the current origin now. At some point it also became hip to remove the underline from links, and links rarely have underlines anymore.
- dredmorbius 5y agoAny deets on the privacy aspect? I'm assuming a JS query can check link status and colour? With a targeted or crafted link-of-interest, user activity might then be tracked, yes?
