'When using aria-hidden="false" on a container that includes style="none",
JAWS will now expose this to users even though it is
visually hidden from sighted users.''

'Apologies, this is confirmed in IE11 using JAWS15, even though it is not
supported elsewhere that I'm aware of.'

That is too bad as we might have added it to legacy sites that we developed
and maintain. There is no funding to check and change. I hope it doesn't
change in other browsers.
