Chromium Microsoft Edge reaches 100% score in HTML5 Accessibility

The Microsoft Edge team said in a tweet that the latest version of the Edge browser passed the test with a score of 100% in the https://www.html5accessibility.com/ test, which means that the Edge browser is in the best HTML5 Accessibility support. The team believes this is due to their ongoing efforts to improve accessibility-related features, including UI automation and more accessible controls.

This site (https://www.html5accessibility.com/) tests which new HTML5 features are accessibly supported by major browsers. This includes if they are keyboard accessible, mapped to the platform accessibility APIs, and if any accessibility related features are supported. An accessibly supported feature means it is usable by people who rely on assistive technology, without developers having to supplement with ARIA or other additional workarounds.

Sorry, it looks like we lost the image description on this tweet. It should read: Screenshot of https://t.co/sCcri4qDUY, showing a 100% score in Edge 80 on Windows 10.

Compared with the 56% score obtained by Internet Explorer 11 in the same version of the operating system, Edge using the Chromium core has undoubtedly made a huge improvement in this regard.
