Because people have no taste.

You can make your hyperlinks stand out without underlining or making it bright blue or violet. When people have no taste, they cannot do anything elegant - elegance != invisible.

See videosift for an example of good, clean design. Props @lucky760 and @campionidelmondo

Underlined hyperlinks are aesthetically unpleasant in a grammatical sense of the term. I think the new shift from underlined links to slightly-blue/purple/whatever color that is offset from the paragraph is a great solution. I don't think the links are there to grab your attention They're there so that if you're interested you can click the link and find out more information on a topic that the writer wants to cite, in case you are an uninformed reader, or an interested reader who wants to find out more.

You can edit/create %appdata%\mozilla\firefox\profiles\<random>\chrome\usercontent.css and paste the following into it. It will force an underline on all links on all pages.

a {
text-decoration: underline !important;
}

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

a {
text-decoration: underline !important;
}

All hyperlinks should be converted to Curlz MT font.

I think your eyes suck, I see them just fine. They hyperlinks in the page you linked to are in a different color (dark purple) than the rest of the text (black). I see them in the screen shots too.

I can see the links quite clearly. Perhaps it is the colour settings of your screen?

I tried reading that and my brain broke. Thanks a fucking lot, Riker!
