There are also modal dialogues on more Web sites these days than there used to be. They can acquire focus when you're simply reading Web content. You need to close the dialogue to resume reading. Often, fortunately, the VoiceOver cursor returns to where you were before the interruption. Amazon does not have this problem, though.

I found both apps to be vary usable until these started cropping up, and then started noticing 1 of 2 things happening, my screen’s focus jumping all over the place, or my screen completely freezing.

The name/account and lists thing is apparently a web dialog that steals focus and cannot be dismissed or bypassed. This appears to happen in safari a lot (especially older versions). They have also changed the amazon app so that it is more confusing (and thus, less accessible). I may have to locate my source for direct email and phone contacts for the amazon board of directors and post those items here. We, as a user base may have to flood both phone and email of the board members just to get their attention. It might also benefit us to get hold of every organization that deals with us as a population and insist strenuously that they pressure amazon into doing the right thing. One of the items I noticed that you pointed out is that windows platform based browsers and JAWS seem to work almost seamlessly with amazon. That means they have pretty much decided to go with Microsoft centric javascript code, making it harder for any of us to use apple OS based devices and browsers. So, we might also have to get apple involved as this will definitely start affecting regular users of apple platforms as well. -Eric On Dec 12, 2024, at 10:46 PM, Brandon Olivares <brandon.a.oliva...@outlook.com<mailto:brandon.a.oliva...@outlook.com>> wrote: Hello, Has anyone else been having issues with Amazon with voiceOver? I know they’ve been changing things quite a bit, but I just tried to place an order and it was super frustrating. I can navigate normally with VO-arrow keys but the moment I try to jump to a heading or do anything else, it totally stops interacting with the page. It just focuses on this element saying “Hello, Brandon,” then has a link for “Account and Lists”. I literally couldn’t complete the order. I had to get out my Windows computer and JAWS was able to do it just fine. Just wanted to see if anyone else is having this issue.
