@jcsteh@aus.social @jscholes@dragonscave.space The main difference is that you yourself use Firefox daily with NVDA, and if you introduce a major bug that tests don't catch yet, you'll notice it quickly yourself. When I look at chromium and the bug it introduces and sometimes keeps around for months or even years, it becomes apparent that there are no serious screen reader users on those teams to be annoyed by the bugs. Like all the hideous text bugs Chromium has on the various platforms. And no, even at its worse days, Firefox text bugs were never so annoying. ;-)

@marco@caneandable.social I'm fairly sure there are at least two screen reader users on the Chrome accessibility team. I am particularly intolerant of accessibility defects and papercuts, though. Even the most trivial of papercuts can add up to hours of time wasted a week or hideous levels of extra stress and cognitive load. @jscholes@dragonscave.space
