It's a PoC written in JS apparently. From page source:

It doesn't really do anything. It just shows you a ton of links and colors the ones that are locally :visited in red. That way, you end up feeding it the data and essentially incriminating yourself.

Very old trick. Setting layout.css.visited_links_enabled to false on Firefox will mitigate this entirely, as well as making sure your links eternally stay blue.
