The newly refreshed Royal Blue design includes updated link colors. Previously it looked like this
It was incredibly obvious and clear to the user which had and hadn't been clicked yet. Now it looks like this
Everything blends together so much that I can't tell what has and hasn't been clicked at a glance. Moon Dark doesn't have this issue, but I'd prefer to use Royal Blue as it otherwise looks nicer.
For now I've restored the previous link behavior by copying the old .theme_dark CSS variables from a cached browser session into the custom CSS. Provided below in case anyone else is similarly struggling:

I'm using Firefox Developer Edition 125.0b9 on Windows 10. The behavior is exactly the same on Brave so I don't believe this is browser-specific.
