Said I hadn't visited any of the sites, except HN (which is easy to guess since news.ycombinator.com will be in the HTTP_REFERER field...).

If I re-run the test it still gets some sites wrong (says I haven't visited them when in fact I have). It even claims I haven't visited Amazon both times when in fact it's open in another tab.

Not even close, while all the sites it said I visited, I had, it missed tons of other sites I'd visited.

Same here. Zero false positives, but several false negative results.

same here. funny thing is that all correct matches were for sites actually opened in another tab and it even missen facebook which was also open in some tab.

Same here, it failed to catch Google and I am there almost daily. (Mostly for the doodles.)

Not even close, too. Instead of measuring load time, you can create " " elements verify their rendered color is the color you defined for visited links. It's a trick of old times...

a trick that all modern browsers have fixed

hmm. I thought it's impossible to block that solution since a coder should be able to get the computed value of a style property. I'll try it soon.
