Re: [orca-list] Orca not reading links opening new tabs

[Rastislav Kish <rastislav kish protonmail com>]

Hello everyone,

thank you all for the responses and for the clarification.

Hmm, I understand. I suppose this has to be a bug in some library or
framework, since it appears on unrelated pages.


Anyway, I've sketched a quick TamperMonkey script to resolve this. It
adds an item to the context menu that allows the user to remove all
aria-label attributes on the website containing a specified phrase.


This way, the users can fix the aria-labels in just few key presses. It
seems to work nicely on the example website.


I'll upload it on my GitHub at some point in the future.

For now, a PMD link if someone is interested:

Best regards


Rastislav
