Description Aditya Keerthi 2022-01-18 14:02:14 PST

The value is currently a fixed color, and does not adjust based on light/dark mode, or with the system.

This bug is unrelated to the default link color used in web views.

This is specifically about the CSS value 'LinkText', which is by definition a system color: https://www.w3.org/TR/css-color-4/#ref-for-valdef-system-color-linktext.

Note that this bug is *not* about default link coloring in dark mode. This is a rarely-used feature for matching *system* link coloring, not default webpage link coloring. Bug 209851 is about the default webpage link coloring in dark mode.

As per https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1219739 I think VisitedText probably also needs handling too.

Is there a difference between the `-webkit-link` value and `LinkText` system color in terms of desired implementations? Aside from LinkText should compute to itself (presumably) whereas `-webkit-link` seems to resolve to an actual value.
