This is ass-backwards. Screenreaders should handle autofocus properly or ignore it, not force the other 90% into (even deeper) insanity.

- appplication 3y agoAgree - wis there no additional layer of abstraction between autofocus and screen readers? Why is there such a dependency on this unrelated functionality? I’m inclined to see this is a failure of screen readers, and perhaps more broadly the standards on which they are based if they can’t handle what is a reasonable and common use case for normal web browsing.
