Folks who use #screenreaders, have you found it harder to read the web recently?

A lot of web pages seem to be blocking #ReaderView in FireFox. Attempts to use it return a black screen with this text;

"Cannot Complete Request

Additional information about this problem or error is currently unavailable."

... and a "Try again" button that never works.

I presume this is caused by copyright owners slapping anti-scraping tools on their websites, due to #AI panic about #MOLE training.

Apparently, #Firefox's #ReaderView does a great job working around some of the stupidest “please enable cookies or register to read this article” solutions on the web.

🆕 How I made the #Firefox “reader view” popup NOT overlap text with help from @bert

https://koalie.blog/2023/09/02/how-i-made-the-firefox-reader-view-popup-not-overlap-text/

"Reader View" fan and heavy user here!

A lot of the time, I click the “listen” button, and I read as I listen. BUT the popup overlaps some of the text as it scrolls automatically (karaoke style).

This tip puts the controls popup over the empty space in the left margin.
