Menu
We are using Bootstrap to provide responsiveness for our sites. It is good UX practice to indicate followed links, but as Bootstrap was built for applications, it doesn't support this. Are there any workarounds that people have used?

a:link if for an unvisited link, while a:visited is for a link that the user has visited. Usually the user will want some way to differentiate between the two in which case you'll style them separately. If you don't want any differences (e.g. a menu) then just a will do.
Visited Links are underlined/ highlighted or have a different font color (dependent upon your site design and color scheme) AFTER a site visitor visits the page. Visited Links stay underlined/ highlighted or have a different font color as the site visitor continues to navigate the website.
Active is a hyperlink that has. been clicked and is currently being fetched by the browser. Visited is a link to a page that. has been visited recently.
A link becomes active when you click on it. Tip: The :active selector can be used on all elements, not only links. Tip: Use the :link selector to style links to unvisited pages, the :visited selector to style links to visited pages, and the :hover selector to style links when you mouse over them.
Issue was logged and closed with bootstrap over a year ago (see github) and indeed the workaround recommended is to just use a:visited
