A reminder for those using chromium based browsers. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Firefox can keep visited links purple and does not allow any website to know whether a link is purple or has been visited.

If “Partition the Visited Link Database, including ‘self-links’” is enabled, Chrome cannot keep visited links purple globally.

If “Partition the Visited Link Database, including ‘self-links’” is disabled, Chrome keeps visited links purple globally, but websites can sniff CSS and determine which links you have visited.

From this perspective firefox seems like a better choice.

There are far more reasons then this to pick Firefox over a Chrome combover, but it is a valid one to add to the list.
