#Overlays mit Konformitätsversprechen gibt es jetzt wohl auch kostenlos:
Während Anbieter, die man früher noch deutlicher mit diesen Widgets und Versprechen assoziiert hat, von Konformitäts-Claims Abstand genommen haben (wahrscheinlich, weil es ihre jeweilige Rechtsabteilung rät), gibt es das Schlangenöl jetzt spendengestützt und angeblich kostenfrei.
Accessibility overlays promise one-click fixes. They don't work. Chris Yoong went inside one of these companies and documented exactly how they exploit the people they claim to help.

React (and similar frameworks) own the DOM. The framework expects to be the single source of truth for element structure, attributes, […]
Mike Paciello – talks accessibility – fireside
@MikePaciello
If you are not familiar with overlays, or need a refresher of the other significant reasons to avoid them, check out the Overlay Fact Sheet, which now has over 1000 signatories (!).
From the Fact Sheet: "Overlays are a broad term for technologies that aim to improve the accessibility of a website. They apply third-party source code (typically JavaScript) to make improvements to the front-end code of the website."
Why do #overlays suck in React?
I haven't thought about overlays recently, but @karlgroves of AFixt has enumerated the technical reasons that they fail on sites built using popular JavaScript frameworks like React.

Accessibility overlays create problematic ‘quick-fixes’ Without fixing the foundation, overlays create disruption for some users, but fail to offer legal protection In this illustration of an accessibility overlay, the user can change contrast, adjust font size, as well as use keyboard navigation, a screen reader, and voice commands — all adjustments or adaptive technologies available through the user's operating systems,…
