Yeah. I wonder if youngsters of this day get this at all.

Well, lots of webpages apply CSS, either disabling the history coloring entirely or at least choosing different colors. It does still happen with blue and purple, but it's not nearly as obvious anymore that these specific two colors refer to that.

Actually, now that I think about it, accessed links in Google Sheets only change to a different color of blue.
