Hey Web Designers, WHY DO YOU HATE ME??
- a3n 10y agoMy eyes will turn 60 this year, and I sympathize. Things are getting worse, and not just because my eyes are getting worse: If I have a problem with a site (contrast is the biggest offender), then in Firefox View/Page Style/No Style makes it very readable, and I haven't done anything to magnify my laptop or my browser. Of course that does nothing for banking sites where the two computers have to interact in a complex way, but I do love raising my finger to an unreadable site and instantly making it readable. (Hey Mozilla, remember when Microsoft had those funky high-contrast settings? You should totally do something like that for Firefox, and making it both permanently settable, or per-visit settable.) Hopefully when designers' eyes turn 60 they'll be viewing the web (or the whatever it might be by then) in some kind of accessibility-enabling VR, because I wouldn't wish the web they're designing now on their future selves. Harumph!
