Browser Extension Accessibility

The design and development of web browser extensions that either enhance the accessibility of existing web content or are themselves fully accessible to users of assistive technologies. Assistive browser extensions can augment web pages with additional accessible content, restructure information for easier screen reader consumption, or provide alternative interaction modalities. Key considerations include ensuring the injected content uses proper ARIA attributes, supports keyboard navigation, integrates seamlessly with screen readers, and does not disrupt the accessibility of the host page. Browser extensions offer a practical approach to improving accessibility without requiring changes to the underlying website.
