 Changing the color of visited links (for example, from blue to purple) is
 a core feature of web navigation since it's origin. It helps users
 navigate websites by making it easier to understand where they have been
 already and where they can go.

 In 2011, it was qualified as top 3 mistake in web design by UX guru Jakob
 Nielsen:

 In Tor Browser 8.0.6, visited links don't change color. I tried this on
 several websites:

 - A Google search result page
 - https://debian.org/
 - https://tails.boum.org/
