I can't tell if you're serious (about it being common - not that you use it), but I've never heard of anyone doing it and I'd bet less than 0.1% of web devs do

- minerjoe 6y agoAnd as a good friend of a blind person, this is a tragic shame.
- ladberg 6y agoDoes your friend use Links (or lynx/others)? I thought most visually impaired people use a normal browser combined with a screen reader (NVDA or Voiceover). Of course, designing with accessibility in mind is important, but I would argue supporting Links isn't.
- shagmin 6y agoBut if your site supports Links then it’s almost definitely going to work with screen readers and vice versa.
- extra88 6y agoThat’s not at all true. Links doesn’t care if a text field is properly labeled and a screen reader user with a modern browser can happily use a site built using a front-end framework if the developer has taken proper steps (e.g. focus management on “page” transitions, used ARIA live regions to announce dynamic changes).
