To my knowledge, they are. Netscape, IE, and Mozilla have always been
this way. If I remember correctly, Opera is the same way.
The standard link is blue, the standard visited link is purple.
I'm not saying, by the way, that we should stick to this. I've never
complained too loudly about the changes that we've made already. But
I do fear, sometimes, that we forget that most people don't use the
web the way we do.
(Well, except for me. I have the technical skills to change my
browser settings, I just don't.)
