&quot;Hyperlinks still work.&quot;<p>I observe that this is increasingly no longer true. Links no longer show you when you have visited them. Chains of 301s are common. Tracking links are now the norm. The link text almost never is where you are actually going. Pages automatically redirect you based on a ton of probed information (mobile, desktop, tablet, logged in to G+, logged into facebook, etc), and even normal browser shortcuts to interact with them are no longer working correctly with so many weird effing span and divs being recast into &quot;links&quot; that never work right, in css of all things.<p>No no. The modern hyperlink is totally busted. I blame the framework hockers and the halfass web&quot;app&quot; community.
