Little details like checkboxes next to places I've already been are super helpful and I miss those little touches in google.
Google does do this, and in a less subtle way -- it applies the classic, purple styling to visited links.
Still, I find your comments compelling enough to give DDG a shot. I found the results inadequate when I last tried a year or so ago -- I found myself using !g more often than not, which led me to abandon DDG altogether.
- djent 11y agoI'm pretty sure that's a browser thing, not a Google-specific feature.
- jpatokal 11y agoWell, it's a CSS thing these days (a:visited), and something that an awful lot of other sites these days sacrifice in favor of looking more shiny and uniform.
- rpedroso 11y agoYes, it is a feature of the default browser stylesheet, but many websites override it. DuckDuckGo, for instance, keeps all of its links black and uses the :visited pseudo class to show the checkmark. Even if it's default browser behavior, keeping it around is a specific design decision.
