Re: Bookmarklets or extensions to retrofit specific websites

I've got a couple of browser extensions that could help sighted keyboard
users:

1) Landmarks

As the name implies it concerns landmark roles.

It can be used to show a list of landmarks on a page, and also highlight
them.

But it is also possible using keystrokes to move focus around the page -
thereby giving sighted keyboard users some functionality that normally only
screen reader users can use.

It's available for Chrome and Firefox.

There is another Firefox only one called 'A11y outline' that does similar,
but also shows headings and links.

2) Focus indication

A Chrome only extension that can show focus highlight in a customisable
colour outline.

Useful on sites where focus indication has been suppressed.


Hope they are of some use.

Regards
Graham Armfield
