Not real accessibility
-
These types of toolbars are a gimmick and companies like Userway make tons of money taking advantage of website owners who do not understand accessibility. If you want your site to be accessible, then follow the simple guidelines set forth by the WCAG. People with disabilities prefer to use their own tools and assistive technologies, they don’t want to figure out another ridiculous toolbar. But, for fun, let’s look at the so-called features of this toolbar…
- Keyboard Navigation – The plugin might help a little, but not 100%. Instead, build your website properly (don’t set CSS focus to “none or 0” and use links and buttons appropriately and test your site with your keyboard (not a mouse).
- Disable Animation – Users who prefer no animation will have already set this preference at an OS level and will likely have their own browser plugin to prevent animations.
- Dark Contrast – Edge and Chrome browsers allow users to force “dark mode”, also this can be set at the OS level.
- Change Font Size – Users who want this can set it at the OS level or in their browser settings. Website owners, use REM/EM/percentages for your font sizes (don’t us PX).
- Readable Font – Users who prefer this will have already set it in their browser settings and/or use an extension.
