It’s high time browsers stop supporting :visited on cross-domain links by default.
No need to remove the feature completely, just not applying :visited on cross-domain links would fix privacy leak, while keeping most legit uses of :visited working fine.
- cobbal 3y agoI really hope not. If I'm repeatedly googling a related set of queries, knowing which pages I've already looked at is hugely helpful.
- adrr 3y agoits also useful on hacker news to see what i already visited especially when headlines get changed.
- nnx 3y agoIt's been years that Google search result pages do not link directly to content, but goes through a google.com "redirect" url, so this use case could still work.
