I’m trying @librewolf browser and it might seem like a small thing to you all, but they went out of their way to preserve accessibility features for disabled users like myself, whereas other privacy solutions remove accessibility features completely, and their efforts to make sure disabled users have a private focused but accessible browser is more welcome than you can imagine because disabled people need privacy as well. I would argue that disabled people need privacy more. I wish more #privacy advocates took accessibility and disability into account the way they have currently. I hope this remains a core mission of theirs

LibreWolf is my browser of choice on desktop!

That said, I feel you as someone whose vision is continually detoriating, I make use of accessibility features and will gravitate to the apps which offer font scaling, dark themes etc in addition to privacy preserving features.

I'm totally blind so don't know how it is for low vision, but I seriously doubt any visual accessibility stuff like contrast would flag their privacy stances. If they do, well, uh, yikes! @Sho

I really hope you're right but I still can't help but wonder!

Adding NoScript in librewolf and learning to choose what you want to see, and whether if scripts are enabled to do it on a private window, may be time consuming. But it shows the extent blackmail goes on by pages to allow them to collect data from you.

I often decide I don't need the information they supply that bad!

@weirdwriter @librewolf wonder how Waterfox compares now that they went independent again. They have a desktop and android app.
Is there a place to test browsers for accessibility features?
