The color that visited links turn is purely at the discretion of the website deveoper, not the browser developer.

The CSS rule is a:visited. I'm not saying that some browsers may ignore or have different defaults for this value, but they should respect what the developer has specified.

FireFox has an option to change the colors of visited links. It also has an option to let the page decide rather than the local preferences. I can't find options like that in Safari.
However, not every page uses CSS; there should be a LOT of pages that don't bother with coding what happens with their links too.

So Firefox changes the default link colors for visited links, but it respects different defaults provided by the developer, right?
I don't really see the point in counting on visited links to be purple when/if developers can override this default at their discretion.

Depends. You can tell Firefox to override custom link colors globally. By default, this option is not enabled.
