Zoom bug reading this article. Perhaps it's just my Firefox?

Still, a nice concise read if you can get it

Left part of the page is cut off and only accessible with reader mode on IronFox for Android. Talk about #WebAccessibilityFails

Speaking of WebAccessibilityFails, the article overflows to the left without a scrollbar when viewed on a phone narrower than an iPhone, making the first word of every line unreadable (and there are a lot of lines on a phone narrower than an iPhone).

I keep my browser zoomed in substantially to compensate for uncorrectable vision issues. I’d say perhaps once per day I’ll encounter a website that has never had zoom in/out (ctl +/-) tested because if you zoom up even one level from 100%, everything breaks.

There are several equally useless failure modes I’ve seen with this, a few off the top of my head:

  - rendering fails, everything falls apart

  - some elements disappear

  - it drops into the feature-limited mobile view

  - the author or framework overrides zoom with some other behavior — this one makes me especially crazy because they had to do *extra work* to screw up accessibility
Certain websites are impossible for me to use and I just avoid them.

While web accessibility is important and something we should be investing in, I do feel that the vendors of accessibility tools are somewhat to blame here in how friggin difficult it is to actually make something accessible. Quirks and features are wildly inconsistent across tools, and feature uptake is much slower than it should be. For example, creating an accessible dialog shouldn’t be a multi-page essay to explain, it should just be “use the <dialog> element - but the a11y tools are so inconsistent that you can’t just do the standards compliant thing.
