This also happens on reddit: go to reddit, click a post on the home page, hit trash can, go to reddit, post is unexpectedly highlighted.

I can't reproduce this on google.com anymore. I created a test page and can see that we are still removing the "visited" CSS styling in all builds - including the release build.

i can reproduce on google.ca: see

For everyone who can reproduce this. Please try this:

• Go to http://fennec.pocmo.de/test/visited/
• Click on the test link
• Erase your session
• Go to http://fennec.pocmo.de/test/visited/ again
• Is the link red (has been visited before) or blue (Not visited)?

Is the link red (has been visited before) or blue (Not visited)?

The link is blue (not visited).

confirming too - blue 🔵

This means the workaround in general is working on your devices. Can you post device model and Android version too?
And you can consistently reproduce this on google.com and reddit.com?

For reddit.com, I can reproduce on:

• GS5, Andy 6.0.1
• N5, 6.0.1

After disabling (and removing updates from) the System WebView APK I can see this issue on a test device now too. Maybe I can see why our workaround is not working now.

[pocmo]

chromium I [INFO:CONSOLE(1)] "Uncaught SyntaxError: Block-scoped declarations (let, const, function, class) not yet supported outside strict mode", source: (1)

Using "var" instead of "let" fixes the workaround on those devices. :)

@pocmo I think I still see the issue on reddit.com. (FocusWebKitDebug build on Nexus 5X simulator with API 23/25) I click a reddit thread, then clear history and revisit to see the visited links marked. Same thing if I close the app via recent apps list, and restart the app. Did I understand the bug correctly?
