You can compare these if you wish using a screen reader such as JAWS or NVDA in Chrome and Firefox to validate keyboard accessibility.

Subject: [WebAIM] Please share example of inaccessible but popular UI component

Hi all!
I'm looking for a frequently used UI component that has severe accessibility issues. Ideally - issues with keyboard navigation because that would be easy to demo. I want to use it in a training for developers to proof the point that one should carefully check components written by someone else before using them in their own product. That's why I need something popular to strengthen the argumentation. Under "popular" I mean that the component belongs to a known framework/library and/or it has been starred many times on Github for instance :) If someone has an example of this at hand, please share the link. Thanks in advance!
