Safari Link Underlining?

[Davoud]

I note that Safari Enhancer can't turn off link underlining in Safari
1.0. Is there a utility that can do so? Sorry, but I'm not interested
in starting a lengthy thread on why my life would be better if I liked
link underlining. Just the facts, please! TIA!

I had the link underlining turned off as soon as there was a way to do
so. I just upgraded Safari to 1.0 and it somehow found whatever hidden
preference Safari Enhancer had toggled; none of the links are
underlined, but I don't know how that happened (I'm not complaining,
mind you).

You don't need an entire third-party program to create one line of CSS
for you.

If you would like to disable link underlining in Safari:

Create a text file. Call it something like user.css and put it
somewhere appropriate, like ~/Library/Safari. In it, put:

a { text-decoration: none }

In Safari, open your Preferences, go to Advanced, and set this file as
your user stylesheet. Voila, no more link underlines.

I use mine for some surgical ad blocking.

You should be able to change the style sheet for the 'a:link',
'a:visited', 'a:link:active', and 'a:visited:active' styles without
resorting to an outside program. But I don't know the exact details.

You can accomplish this by providing a default CSS style sheet to
Safari's "Advanced" preferences tab. Here's the one I use to
disable underlining without hovering:
