I suppose because of the way I use newest nodes, I don't have this problem -- I run through the nodes that look interesting, middle-clicking, which opens up the pages in tabs behind the current one in my browser. That done, I click on "I've checked all these" and page through the tabs. Should I be interrupted, I fall back to the "visited" link color as TomK32 notes.
