           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P2

        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: robert at roberthogan.net


http://ha.ckers.org/weird/CSS-history.cgi demonstrates how malicious websites
can use the 'visited' element in CSS stylesheets to inspect the user's recent
browsing history. 

The attached patch introduces a webcore setting 'CSSKeepVisitedLinksPrivate'
that allows webkit browsers to disable this behaviour.
