Web development **fuzzes browsers and developer tools** with the side-effect of occasionally producing decent Web content. My site has broken enough things to give me plenty of bugs to file, or cause others to file on my behalf. Despite all the fuss I make about maintaining compatibility, I do make exceptions for simple fixable bugs and broken developer tools.
My strict Content Security Policy (<abbr>CSP</abbr>) has broken various developer tools (Axe, Lighthouse), Brave's Reader Mode (allowing styles with a CSP hash blocks reader-mode CSS), WebKit media controls (I relax the <abbr>CSP</abbr> on the affected page), Chromium DevTools' console, and various parts of Epiphany. Recent directives like `navigate-to` and `webrtc` were unsupported by Google's CSP evaluator (and by proxy, Lighthouse) until I pushed a trivial fix.

Recent features like CSS containment, `media` attributes in `<meta name="theme-color">` elements, the `@supports selector()` CSS at-rule, and `prefers-contrast: less` expose several false positives in the W3C's CSS and Nu HTML validators; I fixed a couple of the simpler issues.

You can regard this article as an elaboration on existing work by the Web Accessibility Initiative (<abbr title="Web Accessibility Initiative’s">WAI</abbr>).
I'll cite the <abbr>WAI's</abbr> {{<mention-work itemprop="citation" itemtype="TechArticle">}}{{<cited-work name="Techniques for WCAG 2.2" url="https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Techniques/">}}{{</mention-work>}} a number of times. Each "Success Criterion" (requirement) of the WCAG has possible techniques. Unlike the <cite>Web Content Accessibility Guidelines</cite> (<abbr title="Web Content Accessibility Guidelines">WCAG</abbr>), the Techniques document does not list requirements; rather, it serves to non-exhaustively educate authors about _how_ to use specific technologies to comply with the WCAG. I don't find much utility in the technology-agnostic goals enumerated by the WCAG without the accompanying technology-specific techniques to meet those goals.

### Performance of assistive technologies

Browsers use complex heuristics to determine which elements to report, to reduce the size of the accessibility tree. Now that all major browsers are moving to multi-process architectures, some browser components interface with assistive technology (<abbr>AT</abbr>) in a separate process. Data about the page's semantics needs to cross process boundaries, incurring additional overhead.

Re-calculating nodes in the accessibility tree can create small delays for user interaction. These delays add up, causing the accessibility tree to fall out-of-sync with the actual page state. In extreme cases, an out-of-control accessibility tree may crash the <abbr>AT</abbr>. Moreover, speech synthesizers may be slow to start speaking when the CPU is under load. Delayed speech synthesis is incredibly annoying because it tends to omit words while "warming up".

Firefox
: In addition to Firefox's "Stable", "Beta", and "Nightly" channels, Firefox includes an "Extended Support Release" (<abbr>ESR</abbr>). Firefox <abbr>ESR</abbr> receives only bugfixes and major security patches for over one year. It's the default browser in Debian and the basis for the Tor Browser. In other words: if you want people to be able to browse your site anonymously (i.e. with the Tor Browser), you need to support Firefox <abbr>ESR</abbr> versions for at least 13 months after their release. If that wasn't enough: the latest version of KaiOS uses Firefox 84, while older versions (still being sold in 2022!) use Firefox 49.[^12]

Safari and WebKit
: On Linux, WebKitGTK powers various browsers, RSS readers, and in-app browsers. WebKitGTK versions are limited by a distribution's release model; LTS distributions will not have the shiniest new WebKit features. Safari versions are similarly limited by iOS and macOS versions. For instance, the iPhone 7 will not be able to run iOS 16 or Safari 16, just four years after it was discontinued; it'll only receive occasional security patches for Safari 15.x. The only way for iPhone-7-and-earlier users to use Safari 16+ features is to buy a new phone. Expecting users to buy a new device every few years just to display a webpage needlessly contributes to the rampant consumerism and throw-away culture in the consumer electronics industry.
@ -483,7 +483,7 @@ Many people use Tor out of necessity. On Tor, additional constraints apply.
Tor users are encouraged to set the [Tor Browser's security settings](https://tb-manual.torproject.org/en-US/security-settings/) to "safest". This disables scripts, MathML, remote fonts, SVG images, and [other unsafe Firefox features](https://gitweb.torproject.org/torbutton.git/tree/modules/security-prefs.js). If your site has any SVG images, the Tor browser will download these just like Firefox would (to avoid fingerprinting) but will not render them.
If you must use scripts, ensure that they perform well with just-in-time (<abbr>JIT</abbr>) compilation disabled. The Tor Browser's "safer" mode, iOS Lockdown mode, and Microsoft Edge's "enhanced" security mode all disable JIT compilation by default.[^15]

Additionally, hopping between nodes in Tor circuits incurs latency, worsening the impacts of requiring multiple requests and round-trips. Try to minimise the number of requests to view a page.
