This doesn't actually work, the value attribute of the input doesn't change as a user types something.

With that said, I still think there is a a big discovery yet to be made with browsers leaking users' history via the :visited selector. Only a few CSS properties can be set with it (all related to color). But if there was a way to detect the color difference or timing of the painting that would be a big deal.

Possibilities might be with mix-blend-mode, @property, or applying "slow" css properties like a blurry text-shadow dozens of times. I've played around with this a little but haven't found a crack yet.
