@sapphireangel So an official page giving instructions for IT admins to disable add-ons and the dev console doesn't count? We still have to spend hundreds of dollars a year for a speech synthesizer because open source is so evil and dangerous? Never mind the fact that the internet as we know it today would not exist were it not for open source. All those websites your visiting? Any online games you play? Most if not all of the servers powering everything we use runs Linux which is open source. https://www.nvaccess.org/corporate-government/

@Rich @sapphireangel The problem here is that people love to run with what others have told them and don't bother to educate themselves. This view that Opensource is bad is very old and @NVAccess gave many examples of opensource software used in the medical field, so it is literally this myth that's being towed along by people that have nothing to do with the IT sector but are still in charge of making and enforcing policies.
