Disabled user here. Trying to fiddle with CSS is difficult on some methods blind users use to access AO3. For sn example, braille readers and their 32-40 character displays. There are other disabilities too - I merely speak of blindness as I myself have it.
Oh I see! Thank you for explaining and giving your experience. I could imagine that it'd be bit of an uphill battle for users who use special methods to navigate the site.
I'm disabled too (visual impairment and hypersensitivity to light) so I just try to zoom in on everything which can make navigating HTML really confusing.
I've looked into AO3 Savior as another user mentioned and tried it out. It's great but it's bit of a strain on my eyes.
Unfortunately I’ve mostly used my phone to navigate because I still need to get access to ZoomText and when I gace acess to a braille notetaker it can be clubky with the limited characters sometimes. My phone does not support scripts. I navigate via phone both for zoom format and due to extremely limited visual diekd making a phone’s smaller screen easier to work with than many modern computer screens - mine are still older and smaller square screens.
Sorry for the very late reply. Yes, one thing I’ve learned with accessibility is disabled people’s needs are very variable. There’s a reason more relevant options and alternative access methods help so much.
