There are some minor accessibility issues with this app, but they are easy to deal with.

Other Comments

This is an alternative to Safari, just like various other browsers on iOS. Thanks to Apple's permission to set default apps, it does let you set it as your default browser if you wish.

Hi,
On iOS & ipadOS, in the area where it shows your open tabs, voiceover just says, “draggable.”
The only way I found to fix this, is to open one of the tabs. Voiceover will then give them proper titles.
Has anyone else seen this, and know of a good way to report it?

The scrub gesture doesn’t work properly. So going back Hass to be initiated by actually pressing the back button on the bottom left of the screen. Although this is a very accessible browser, it’s not 100% accessible and I believe would benefit from some adjustments. Mainly it so that it’s mostly accessible and not fully accessible

I've also been using Edge on my iPhone for its ability to synch your data / passwords with the Windows PC, but since the latest update is out, VoiceOver does not read page elements as it should. Do you encounter a similar issue?

Hi,
The issue I wrote about with the tab viewer, is still unresolved on both iOS & ipadOS.
I have reported this several times and am not sure how to proceed, in order to get Microsoft’s attention so they will actually fix it, once & for all.
On global Accessibility awareness day, I heard them talk about how committed to accessibility they were. If that is indeed, the case, then this issue should be fixed sooner rather than later.
Is there anything we, as a community can do, to try and fix this?

Wow, can't believe I made this 6+ years ago; Time flies.
Anyways, I took a look at the app again, and found some issues and quirks that did not exist back then, so I've decreased the ratings. As far as I know, VoiceOver can still read all the elements on the screen.
