For a long time this protection was so strict in firefox that even the dev tools was not allowed to see the :visited styles.

I hate that, in the modern web, customizing is so important that websites want access to the link itself, instead of just stylizing the div outside like normal.

That I don't want any website customizing the color, font etc. of links. Therefore, they shouldn't need access to any properties of those objects after they have been created.
