I'm not sure what you mean by "hiding the links". All links at your
cited page are visible with SeaMonkey. True, they use a color scheme
that overrides my defaults. However, I can still tell which links I
visited and which I did not.
I frequently visit other Web sites where the color scheme distinguishing
visited from unvisited links uses far less distinct colors. I also
visit some sites where the text color (including links) does not have
much contrast from the background color. For those sites, I have a
checkbox on my browser's toolbar that suppresses the page's colors,
using only my default colors.
Some people design Web pages to show how clever they are, not to convey
information. For more rants on this topic, see my
