The alternative is to use the JavaScript focused browsers, like LInks and e-links, or even Lynx with the Java script focused keystrokes. none of that matters though if a site developer violates web design. It has nothing to do with blindness. A paraplegic using a voice browser is going to have the same issue. come to consider, so might many with learning disabilities, some of whom use screen readers too. I truly respect the body focus, but no matter how kind, that leads to more barriers. the discussion becomes, why are you not blind like..fill in the blank. I imagine TD has a single blind staff member for whom they bought specific tools, say used chrome with oh hmm talkback with is kind of sort of google's screen reader. whathappens though if the person needing to bank is say using a voice browser instead? Tools like that focus on standard key function, no mouse clicking in that case either. The body, no person's body is the issue. On Thu, 17 Oct 2024, Steve Litt via talk wrote:

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.
So what's her alternative, given she's blind?
