Hi,
I'm not sure about the best way to keep up with this, but CSS content has been supported now for several years that I am aware of.

This is part of the W3C AccName spec, and it is directly added to the accessibility tree within Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari.

This is why screen readers pick it up. Visual ARIA uses this technique to display all discovered ARIA roles and attributes on the page.

All the best,
Bryan
