JS needs to know about styles?

It's about JS trying to detect if the link was visited, not about style. People used to do that to evade cross-site tracking protection, and this is why JS isn't allowed to know that anymore.

This. Did a seminar on these techniques during my it security degree. Porn sites invented that to detect people that use competing sites.

hence the comment about tracking ;) anything more than recording your events as they happen are a security and privacy risk
