Getting Strikethrough on Visited Links back in Opera Browser

Opera Browser had this interesting and very useful option till some versions back. They removed it after noticing that a lot of websites come with their own CSS settings for visited links which nullified the usage of this feature. However, Google results and many other webpages still has no settings of this sort making this option still quite useful.

This can now be enabled on any of the recent versions of Opera in two different ways. One is to getting the old preference box back using a different ini file. Or directly modifying the opera6.ini file to include this following text under [Visited link] heading:

Strikethrough=1

For more such hidden settings, a page on the Opera website comes handy:

Just make sure that the Opera Browser is closed while these changes are being made considering Opera will save the file from its cache back to the disk when closing. This would overwrite any changes done when the browser was open. Go on, explore and have fun!
