I respect that, however it is not necessarily the browser at fault here speaking personally. E-links for example runs a wider variety of JavaScript, when compiled for that goal. however if a bank uses a proprietary form of JavaScript, or does not use progressive enhancement so other forms of JavaScript still have access, that is not inclusive or universal web design. As shared JavaScript is language, there is little modern about it if the site is intended to be accessed by the public. speaking personally, if JavaScript has become more modern, then as with most language the basic elements should still be present, just built upon. Super highway metaphors for the Internet are relevant. When the web floor is sound, with JavaScript on top, more have a way in if that makes sense. And on the Linux side? Links is open source. Unfortunately as is often the case with Linux speaking personally, a tool is only as good as the people thinking it worth their time. Links, in theory, as an open source project, could be enhanced, is that not correct? Thanks for providing engaging perspective, Karen On Fri, 18 Oct 2024, Alex Kink wrote:
It was not clear from the way I wrote it.
I understand that links ver. 2 for example supports some javascript.
The problem is in how any given javascript application interacts with the browser and what that browser supports. Text based browsers don't support much of what modern javascript provides.
The fact that when I go to the TD EasyWeb login page using links and it renders blank is the result of the javascript that is implemented on that page not being able to run as intended since links doesn't support bulk of those functions.

Actually, She is using browsers that support JavaScript both elinks, and Links. Both of which are options in command Line Linux.

She is using a text-based browser. Essentially all bets are off. If she is lucky, some bank site might work to some extent, but given how much JS is used to dynamically construct the DOM as well as do threat mitigation, sites that work in a text browser today might stop working tomorrow.

In my experience the browser and its configuration has more to do with how websites work than the operating system. In most cases. If TD has done a redesign and they no longer support screen readers that is a big time AODA problem.
Their accessibility page provides this specific login URL so maybe it has some different features? https://authentication.td.com/uap-ui/index.html?consumer=easyweb&locale=en_CA#/login/easyweb-getting-started
If that doesn't work, *if* you are feeling generous with your time you can always report the problem to them. The acessibility page <https://www.td.com/ca/en/about-td/accessibility> has contact info: accessibility@td.com, Customer.Support@td.com or 1-866-222-3456.

I've been using Linux to successfully access my bank accounts with TD, RBC and CIBC since the year 2000. These are all just websites after all. Is your question rooted in a past experience where you had issues accessing your web banking using a Linux system?
