I’m very sorry to hear about your experience. That really sucks. The fact we have a thriving browser ecosystem has got to count for something though. Could you recommend people use Firefox instead?

I have come to respect Apple in recent years for their focus on and promotion of accessibility within the industry. They are leading where others have often abrogated the responsibility to build inclusive products. We should celebrate this.

Therefore this headline made me sad. I appreciate sometimes drastic measures are required to persuade those with power to use it to change things, and it does sound like this bug has been around for too long. If Apple are serious about accessibility they need to fix it.

I have read that the relentless release cycle at Apple does lead to bugs like this never getting fixed. I hope this post gets upvoted enough that someone with influence sees it, and ensures that this one is different. Good luck!

What "others" are there except Microsoft Windows and Linux - both also having plenty users here saying that they see those OSes as ahead of Apple? Seems to me that at best Apple is on par, not someone to celebrate above others.

Good point!

I was thinking about when Google launched their progressive web apps page a few years ago with the Accessibility section marked as ‘coming soon’ – not good enough!

I was also thinking about the marketing oomph Apple have put behind innovative accessibility features over the last year or so: https://www.apple.com/accessibility/ It’s great to see a company’s accessibility page being more than a dry statement of conformance with WCAG 2.1. As far as I could tell, they were the first major tech company to take a lead on this.

They clearly do need to do more work. As do we all!
