Default visual focus ring in Safari and other browsers

Hi Everyone,

I have a question re. the 'default visual focus ring in browsers'. Each browser varies in showing the focus ring, and there is a technique in WCAG that recommends to use the default focus ring on browsers.

However on the website that I am testing fails on the visual focus ring on specific browsers e.g. in Safari, the focus ring shows like 'dull/faint blue shadow box' which is hard to see on both white and dark backgrounds.

Any thoughts on the criticality of this issue, and what is the best way to address this?

Thanks!

Best,
