Hi

If those overlays made the website fully accessible, and if they let
the user review and use all the website content and services, they
would be an accessible solution.
The fact is that these overlays are either not accessible at all or
only offer users with disabilities access to a limited subset of the
website, in which case they don't enjoy the full and equal experience.
They used to try to have an "accessible website" version of popular
sites, but those ended up only offering a subset of the information
and oten did not have the same deals and offers as the main site.
