The accessibility guide · The fake fix
The “accessibility” overlay widget
An overlay widget doesn't touch the broken site underneath and often fights the screen reader a blind guest already runs. A sticker, not a repair.
The choice you’re proud of
The “accessibility” overlay widget
What it actually is
The button-in-the-corner tool that promises to make your site compliant overnight.
Who it shuts out
