I had an interesting debate with someone about the Firefox checkbox to disable accessibility. My stance is that it is discriminatory against blind users specifically, and possibly others that would depend on the framework. the dude I was talking to said it is not, and it is a way to improve security if the accessibility features are not needed. Ok, so if we were to sail on down BS creek, where is the ability to turn off display to the screen. If I am using firefox and only use screen reader output, I don’t need text or images output to the screen, just send info to my reader. this would improve security too, not only that, but it would save processing power without having to render all that stuff to the screen. Also, why would offering accessibility features be less secure than not, if there are holes in the software, they need to be fixed. Am I entitled to less security merely for the crime of being born blind? How is it that Chrome, and even old browsers like Internet Explorer can offer the same security to people with and without disabilities? Is it really any wonder that Firefox has lost 40 some million users in the last couple years? Maybe I have a bias view of these things, but usually applications with no accessibility, or a shoddy implementation of accessibility, tend to not be very good anyway. It is usually disappointing to find someone to help with a program that has poor or unimplemented accessibility only to find out that it sucks anyway. Perhaps if Firefox would spend more effort on consuming less memory, loading faster, and making things easier to find and use, and spend less time on disabling critical functionality with the click of a checkbox, they could win back some of those 40 million people who moved on to better browsers. Personally, I only install it briefly if there’s something Orca can’t handle well with Brave. This is becoming more and more rare, and I haven’t had to do it in at least 6 months. Mostly, that is because of the checkbox to disable accessibility. If they removed that option, I maybe would use it more just to keep up with new happenings in its development if nothing else. While that box is there though, I can’t be bothered enough to care about the rest of it.
