Here's a #microsoft #windows #msie #internetExplorer question. I remember that at one point, MSIE was making its own links on web pages, green by default and not blue. Web people didn't like this and MSFT eventually removed the feature.
Does anyone have any records of this? All I can find are q&a threads about malware and browser extensions doing the same thing, but wasn't it a real Microsoft feature for a while?
(Or maybe this feature is the web version of that Sinbad movie that never was?)
