A really interesting read about long lasting accessibility damage thanks to previous browser defaults and of course, AI generated code.

Trusting the browser

I've been thinking about how we approach accessibility in web development. Particularly about trusting the browser to implement things in an accessible way.

> It started off as a short rant about Safari’s <dialog> implementation.

Chrome literally had an issue open to remove dialog from specs because it was so riddled with bugs, undefined behaviors etc.

Then browsers decided to remove the actually accessible alert/prompt and suddenly rushed to release dialog as a "replacement".

Safari just follows its own platform guidelines: items actionable by default are highlighted.
