There's a reason that the more generic name for a browser is user agent. That is, they are agents serving at the behest of the user, not the server.

This is somewhat humorous for me, because one of the first things I do to my Firefox installs is lock the font and set a minimum font size that I can read. The most broken sites by far are internal ones at my company, where no one has given a damn about usability or ADA. Most public sites handle it just fine.
- paulie_a 9y agoI do the same with font size and actually go so far as to disable all custom fonts and sizes. Everything is robo sans sizes 9-13
- jdmichal 9y agoI do allow sites the choice between serif (Georgia), sans-serif (Segoe UI) and monospace (Courier New). But those are the only fonts permitted. Minimum font size is 13, and default font size is 16. Is that a plugin you use to lock the font sizes? That's not a default option in Firefox that I can see. I only have default size and minimum size.

- bluGill 9y agoI wonder if asking HR how to report ADA violations on internal websites would get attention quickly... I've never been quite brave enough to do that (but then it isn't something that affects me though as my eyes get older it might soon)
- kps 9y agoIronically, the MDN (Mozilla Developer Network) description of minimum contrast¹ fails the test it describes: in §1.4.3, the link is #3F87A6 on #F4F7F8 (3.7:1) at 16px. (And the unicorn vomit in MDN's code samples is even worse, sometimes below 3:1.) ¹ https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/Understanding_WCAG/Perceivable#Guideline_1.4_Make_it_easier_for_users_to_see_and_hear_content_including_separating_foreground_from_background https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/U...
