There are non-visual browsers. Basically ones that read web content (text to voice).

I'm not blind, but I'm guessing their dreams are more conceptual than visual. Even for us sighted folk, a lot of what we dream isn't purely imagery. I'm sure blind people dream about conversations and have their own visualization of the world, just based on their other senses.

No, completely blind like Anne Frank was. They let illegals drive, they must let blind people drive 😕

There are non-visual browsers. Basically ones that read web content (text to voice).

How would that work, on a forum? Sure, you could block signatures, but wouldn't the browser read all the crap like the header, the forum list on the left, and the quote it already read before someone responded to it? Sounds like more trouble than it's worth.
