I am planning to shift my linkedin account from my old Linux machine to Macbook air.
How do you all guys access linkedin?
Is it Safari or Chrome accessible?
Any tips or navigation instructions?
Thanks in advance.
In my experience, the Linked-In website is accessible but has some quirks that are likely to be a source of frustration to people who aren't used to the web experience on macOS. For example when you choose to post some text a dialog pops up with a form where you can type it, but if for some reason you leave the dialog, finding it or its form is difficult, and pressing the relevant Jump to Next Control or Jump to Next Text Input doesn't always work. In some cases you may also have to disable mouse tracking to prevent the interface from reacting to mouse hovering events. As Chris Smart said above, the iOS app is significantly more accessible, so my recommendation is to connect a keyboard to an iPhone or iPad and just use the app instead.

iOS App
I've found the iOS app to be a much better experience than the Website.
Accessible but quirky
