WhilethemajorityofonlineusersareabletobrowseWebsitesusingWebbrowserswiththetypicalbrowsersettings,userswithdisabilitiescommonlyusealternativemeanstoaccessonlineinformation.Forexample,ablindusermightuseatext-onlybrowserthatconvertsthetextintoBraille,orreadsthetextaloudusingascreenreader.ApersonwithreducedvisionmightstilluseabrowserlikeMicrosoft®InternetExplorer,butwithascreenmagnifier,orwiththebrowserconfiguredtouseextralargefontsizes.Motordisabilitiesmightprecludeauserfromusingthemouseorkeyboardasaninputdevice.
