(source: api)
Qt: 6.11.0Does the bug happen if you start with --temp-basedir?: Yes
Description
Since update 3.6.3-2 -> 3.7.0-1 visited links (at least on Phoronix) no longer highlighted in gray.
How to reproduce
- Open
qutebrowser --temp-basedir https://www.phoronix.com/ - Open the first link on the newly opened QB in a separate tab, then close it.
- Look at the main phoronix page, try to reload it, check if the link you just visited has different color
Expected: it has distinct color that hints that it was visited.
Actual: it has same color as other links.
