#Overlays mit Konformitätsversprechen gibt es jetzt wohl auch kostenlos:
Während Anbieter, die man früher noch deutlicher mit diesen Widgets und Versprechen assoziiert hat, von Konformitäts-Claims Abstand genommen haben (wahrscheinlich, weil es ihre jeweilige Rechtsabteilung rät), gibt es das Schlangenöl jetzt spendengestützt und angeblich kostenfrei.

If you are not familiar with overlays, or need a refresher of the other significant reasons to avoid them, check out the Overlay Fact Sheet, which now has over 1000 signatories (!).
From the Fact Sheet: "Overlays are a broad term for technologies that aim to improve the accessibility of a website. They apply third-party source code (typically JavaScript) to make improvements to the front-end code of the website."

Why do #overlays suck in React?
I haven't thought about overlays recently, but @karlgroves of AFixt has enumerated the technical reasons that they fail on sites built using popular JavaScript frameworks like React.
I found the details super interesting and persuasive.
Not that I needed additional convincing: when overlays aren't failing directly, their owners are suing leaders in the accessibility community and misleading their clients.

Specifically #AudioEye (best known for SLAPP suits versus useful tooling) and #UserWay (best known for destroying the Level Access brand). Anyway, utter disappointment to see #CSUNATC giving them a platform.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@accesstive_/116131242683166202
Just a few months ago I found this company might have been fabricating reviews and ratings:
https://adrianroselli.com/2025/07/accesstive-will-get-you-sued.htmlOh, and its #overlay doesn’t work.
So you know, buyer beware because #overlays are not solutions.

From @LFLegal, a magistrate just has recommended the suit against UserWay (Level Access) from BloomsyBox move forward.
BloomsyBox sued UserWay for violation of the Delaware Consumer Fraud Act.

"The 'accessibility overlay' we talk about and condemn is a combination of three possible problems: [...] Each condition is a different type of flaw. The first may still represent perfectly useful tooling, but with an ableist presentation. The second may actually introduce new accessibility errors. The last actively deceives potential customers."
