Why Windows, even Orca on Ubuntu does all this stuff and really, for those who
have such complex requirements, I agree Mac is a no starter.
For a person like me who is an entrepreneur needing performance, travel work
comfort and durable hardware quality, Mac does fine, not excellent mind blowing
but good enough. And yes for a few really amazing stuff like security which is
by the way much better than windows and the sheer performance during multiple
tasking and smoothness in performance a MacBook is lite years ahead of Windows
and Linux. It is ironically accessibility which lags behind as compared to
other OSs.

Well, you can use Firefox on Windows hit F9 and there go the ads. Works pretty
well. And I can use complicated PDFs there, something I cannot do on a Mac. I
wish I could. I want desperately to dump windows. I need to buy a new PC. But
if I can’t use complicated PDFs and navigate them, the Mac is a no starter. So
I guess it’s all about what you need access to maybe.

Hmm, the ability to use a Mac Browser that has reader mode vs trying the same
site on a Windows and having to go through adds. Yeah, I think the Mac still
wins on accessibility.

The fundamental question is though whether we should have to find work arounds
a problem Accessibility at Apple has created? When I open a browser on
Windows, I have no such issues, whereas I increasingly have issues on my mac?
At which point do I say enough is enough!

When you get the image thing, simply Toggle Reader mode on and off with Command

On my PC, if I click on a link, Chrome opens to the page in question, not the
toolbar. I could probably live with the toolbar behavior if it weren’t
combined with the Image thing.

When opening Safari, I have mine set to open to an empty page, with focus on
the address edit field, which is of course in the Toolbar.
Since this is expected behavior, I have never considered this a bug.
I agree. Browsers on my Linux system do exactly the same, at least by default.
