The first post says that if it doesn't exist, you should create it...

Watch out for the file extension, i.e. it's better to paste the contents in a new Notepad window, going to File -> Save As, browsing to the chrome directory and saving it as "userContent.css" WITH the quotes.

I've created a new Notepad saved with the name "userContent.css" (WITH .css extension and WITH the quotes).

Then into it i've pasted

a:visited { background-image: none !important; }

Right? I'm ok now?

Anon, a technical information: Why with the quotes?

[anon]

Yes, you should be fine.

So that it gets saved as a CSS file and not a text one.

to be sure the extension is not replaced by the app in case it's unknown to it

Also, one might consider using stylish extension for firefox instead of userContent.css. That way you can use custom style on sites you need to do so, and don't break layout of others.

edit: BTW I'm in no way recommending custom stylesheets as a protection.

I'm amazed by the comments on the article, very strange and surprising.

This is kinda funny, especially the list of links which are supposed to be checked.

[anon]

Yes, the amount of links to a certain .de board is amazing.

I've heard that one board is evil, you learn how to steal from thiefs over there, so I guess it's ok.
