:link and :visited pseudo classes only apply to links. I tried them without the "a" type selector and they work as well:
:visited { color: lightblue; } :link { color: orange; }
Is there any noticeable difference between using these pseudo classes alone like above or using them with the "a" type selector like a:visited and a:link?

Without the "a", any element would be a potential target to check.
Also, I think including the "a" improves the readability of the CSS.
