Sharing this too given the discussion of basic html coding in the other thread. Linux exists in so many varieties, but it, like apple, has a UNIX basis. Just because one person has no issues does not mean other Linux users are not experiencing them. even for those not using adaptive technology in Linux, those pop up ads that cannot be bypassed are a problem, suggesting a coding issue. One thing I have personally noticed button wise is on the amazon prime force feeding. The alt tag on the button for proceed without the amazon benefits..is a display. There is no way to bypass this from the enter key, but the join Amazon prime button..works perfectly.
Drawing Amazon's attention to the diversity  in the access population, its 
not  just screen readers, but voice browsers and augemented keyboards is 
important.
Reminding them that a basic html progressive enhancement floor helps 
far more people feels wise too.
After all, one individual having success does not translate to all 
individuals sharing that label having success.

One thing I???ve noticed on my end, a lot like with the Walmart app, is these 
sponsored ads that both have incorporated that just randomly pop up when 
scrolling and snatch focus away from what I???m trying to navigate, and in both 
cases, there seems to be no way to hide them.  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.

You aren???t the only one to notice this. 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.

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.

Thanks,
Brandon
