We haven't implemented what you describe yet, but we've verified that basic accessibility support works for the Whist browser. We'll be making sure that Chrome's accessibility support is fully covered on Whist cloud tabs before general availability

Exciting! We'll be onboarding users on macOS in the second half of July, and Windows will follow in August or September

#40I think it’s really funny that websites have now become so processing heavy that something like this makes sense.
