Kev Quirk's post on styling :visited links sparks small dev debate

Kev Quirk publishes post questioning :visited link styling

1 Sep 21 5:30 AM · 3d ago · 1 post · 1 source · development 1 of 3

Quirk writes that he has always made visited links look identical to unvisited ones, but after seeing his RSS reader Miniflux color visited links purple, he changes the CSS on his own blog to do the same.

“I've always made the :visited attribute for hyperlinks look the same as links that haven't been visited... until I actually used :visited in anger.”
