   @Vivaldi Hey folks, just a quick heads up, I was going to use your browser while recording my next video but I can’t because I can’t get my screen reader to read the page (unlike how it can on Firefox and even in Chrome). Likely it’s the issues presented here: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/60027/vivaldi-browser-screen-reader-accessibility

   Would love to use it but I can’t until it works with screen readers.

     @Vivaldi OK, well, scratch that, I am going to be using it because other stuff is broken on other browsers on Linux and Orca is broken and at least I can customise Vivaldi to be as plain as possible for the screencast. Will ping you folks once I have it so you can see the accessibility issue (I’ll be comparing it to Firefox which doesn’t have the same problem – as far as I can see neither to Chrome or Chromium-based Edge.)

     I do love how I was able to remove almost everything from the interface.

     @Vivaldi PS. The automatic light/dark theme switching is broken under GNOME + Wayland (Fedora).

     @lebout2canap In recent versions it does offer colour scheme switching but not on a schedule. I use the same extension to automate it based on sunrise/sunset times (which is also broken in GNOME because the location services thinks I’m in Sweden even though I haven’t been in Sweden for several years now) :)

     @aral Unless I'm mistaken, GNOME does not offer this functionality by default. Personally I use the "Dark Mode Switcher" extension and I have no problem (Fedora Silverblue 39). But I don't use any particular theme, I kept the default one.

     @aral
     Yeah, screen reader compatibility is something we need to take a closer look at. :tony_sigh:
     Seeing the issue you're encountering would be a good start.

     @Vivaldi Thanks for looking into it.

     Just open the same page in Chrome and/or Firefox and Vivaldi with the screen reader on and see how it differs (with the other browsers the screen reader reads the page when it loads and see it as a separate context whereas with Vivaldi, it does not). I’d be surprised if this wasn’t the case on every platform, actually, but I’m encountering it on Linux.
