I thought most browsers disabled that feature some years ago to prevent the exploit where you could see all the websites a user has visited by sampling colors of pixels at strategic locations.
Speaking of usability, what does the "reload" button in the bottom right do? For me it resets the form, not reloads it, whatever reloading a form means.
Otherwise very nice list. Can probably be made infinitely long though
- karinapa 14y agoVisited link coloring work on my Mac Safari 5.1.7. You can easily try it on your own browser by going to google.com and clicking a search result there. The link changes color. Here's a good explanation what the exploit is and how it was prevented in Firefox: http://blog.mozilla.org/security/2010/03/31/plugging-the-css-history-leak/ http://blog.mozilla.org/security/2010/03/31/plugging-the-css...
- russellsprouts 14y agoThe css :visited pseudo-class now only allows certain changes, such as changing the color of text. The browser does show those changes. JavaScript can ask what color a link is, but the browser will always lie and say that the page is un-visited. If blue is un-visited and purple is visited, you may see in the browser a mix of blue and purple links, but your JavaScript will only see blue.
