Its sad to hear that for all their advancements, modern web browsers are failing to meet the needs of the blind. I'm curious if Kirk's experience is widespread among blind web users though.

I don't know why you keep doing that when I've already asked you not to. I have absolutely no problem with maintaining a non-Javascript interface to Freenet in addition to a UI that uses Javascript to deliver a contemporary web application user experience. Look at what people are doing these days with web apps: https://chrome.google.com/webstore You'll note that they all rely heavily on Javascript, like it or not, that is the way the web has evolved. Much as you might have preferred to stick with what people were using in 1998, if we expect people to use our software we need a contemporary user interface, and right now we don't have one.
