...in your circle
You could say that about literally any anecdotal observation. I’m sure you notice trends around you and generalize. In fact, if you didn’t, you would find it hard to pretty much do anything in life. In short, your comment is myopic and unhelpful.
> However, being a blind person, I guess I have to accept that Google doesn't care anymore. Jumping from "this isn't working on my incredibly niche browser" to "Google don't care about blind people" is completely ridiculous.
Lynx is niche now? Low user count, yeah, but it’s a standards complaint browser.

As others on the thread have pointed out, blind people can use graphical web browsers with a screen reader, even under GNU/Linux. I know you know…

The mistake you are making is that you are trying to answer the question of what the average user wants by looking at what you want. Developers are not representative of users.
The average user, by Google's own studies, wants a faster experience. By far. Is there any evidence that web apps of today are faster in achieving what equivalent non appy web pages of the past managed? Despite the fact that those older "apps" were running on computers which were orders of magnitude slower than our cell phones today. I've worked with 2 companies now where their users (and both these companies have us…

Okay, that explains that trend, but wow. We actually managed to come up with something arguably more obtuse than an acronym (and they're hardly the most friendly of things)
