Re: Facebook Accessibility Really Sucks
Chris and Brandon, I'll bet Facebook is aware of the Leasey package optimizing the fb site for accessibility. So to answer your question, yes, it is in deed using Jaws scripts. The optimization at least. F123 is moving in the right direction, I do hope they'll do something with the facebook site. And yes, it's no wonder Facebook is losing popularity even among the sighted community if you think about it. Twitter is more open. Just wait till Twitter adds in voice calling if they ever do, and you'll probably see users leaving Fb in droves. Definitely not saying that'll happen, Twitter is probably not gonna do calling, but just if it did happen, that'd be my prediction for the outcome. But Chris is absolutely right. They're doing accessibility wrong. I don't care what they do to the site, but if they don't even so much as allow third-party devs who know the ropes to try and help, then they're already doing it wrong. What's with t hese twisted motives anyway? They're losing users by being soft at work at making things accessible. Oh well, a few thousand users that is us is nothing to them compared to the tens of thousands already on Fb and not inconvenienced in the least. It's like Microsoft and how they were so desperate to get people on windows 10 they almost legit considered allowing pirated versions of windows to upgrade to windows 10 provided the non-genuine nag screen stays put. They didn't do it, but the fact that they so much as considered it showed their desperation clear as day.
