      @Catweazle Unfortunately, neither Reader nor Break Mode minimises the elements my screen reader has access to on the page.

        @Zalex108 Apparently there's' some sort of gif in your post? I suppose now would be as good a time as ever to say that I actually don't have a monitor connected to this computer, nor have enough vision to comprehend what is in the graphic.

          @Zalex108 Do not such post images without any description what it shows. Our poster has low vision! #a11ly

          Ups!

          👍

            @Minionslayer The image has a alt text and you read should read it.

            Thanks for add the Alt

              @Gwen-Dragon Thanks for the tip. Doesn't look like anything in there will do the trick. Besides, web content is boarder-line impossible to reliably navigate with Vivaldi, due to the UI control keyboard focus. Someone mentioned an option that someone suggested was to make sure that the Vivaldi menu was displayed as a classic menubar instead of a toolbar. I found this page about it.

                  There are some entries on Chrome://Flags

                  I don't know if they work, if fully work, or if work as expected.

                  On Chrome://Flags, search for Accessibility

                  Would this do the trick?

                    @Zalex108 I found four options after a search for "accessibility" in flags, only relating to screen reader language change , accessibility in PDFs, and live captioning.

                      Ok,

                      Does not help on Navigation itself.
                      If works, maybe gives some better support at least, for Media.

                        @Zalex108 Thing is, if I can't access said media in the first place, then whether the flags will help media accessibility or not isn't relevant.

                          Ok,

                          Then is not just for some - most - elements.

                          Thank you.

                              Referring that the problem is with all Navigation without exceptions despite that Flag since the code is old or not integrated.

                                  @Zalex108 I presume the devs already know about this issue, so posting a bug report wouldn't be necessary? I suppose I should also quickly mention the lack of accessibility for this forum, and the Vivaldi web client (though that's not a big deal, since I can just add it to a 3rd-party client).

                                    It seems already managed by Gwen, who has access to the Bug Reports:

                                    @Gwen-Dragon said in Vivaldi Browser Screen Reader Accessibility:

                                    @Minionslayer I tried to ping a developer and updated two bug tracker entries.

                                    Those are 3rd Party Platforms.
                                    Not sure whether are PlugIns to support it or not implemented.

                                    Maybe V Team Members knows about.

                                    Forum and WebMail

                                    There you may find support if not implemented at all.
