The old CSS applied on the page wouldn't work because the site already applies colors to links that are specific to activity modules or contribution links etc.

CSS works by applying the styling that is the most specific to each part of the page. This must be overrided as above, through the use of  - or by spending a while in this case making it more specific and adding more selectors than the old code.

The  attribute selector is slow - but it is the only way to achieve this customization to all links with your name without making it more specific. I think the code here should work, and faster than the attribute. So use that if you wish.
