I’m using Chrome because I have Jaws running so I can use some of the more advanced stuff in Outlook. I’m waiting on the Firefox tab crashing bugfix to move from nightly to stable. And dear God I hate this browser so much. Everything displays weirdly, screen reader won’t drop out of forms mode when it’s supposed to, and the worst part is the Facebook mobile interface. I log in here to see what everybody’s up to, and something that is supposed to be stripped down, fast-loading, and minimalist is a series of nested raging trash fires. I’m not blaming the Firefox devs because I know some of them and I know for a fact that they’re working hard on fixing the tab crashing issue. But I definitely can’t wait until we have the fix so I can quit using Chrome for anything other than testing.

Dear #WordPress it’s almost August of 2020 which means we’re a little more than a year out from the “Come-To-Jesus” meeting that was the Gutenberg accessibility audit. So why is basic accessibility for Gutenberg still an up-hill brawl?
