And this is where I think that we get into difficult territory. Unless we have clear data that shows that users need all links to be handled in certain ways and that a 3:1 contrast ratio doesn’t satisfy user needs, this winds up being a very broad scope and harder to justify.

In Chrome and Edge there are extensions that allow people to have underlines added to links, Firefox allows users to set links to be underlined with a browser setting, and Safari allows user stylesheets. We also know there are people that don’t link underlined links (e.g., https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/apps_windows_10-msedge/edge-underlining-links/aa85baa5-8c94-49af-bbed-75aee2cf5a70). This seems like we are ignoring the capabilities of the browsers.
