To clarify, there is not really an option to “hide from screen readers” but show to other AT. It’s either removed from the API, or not. So I mainly worry about hiding this, in the context of say: Larger Text sizes, in combination with VoiceOver or HoverText (both of these are common uses) Fonts at 200% plus a line clamp may become unreasonably short, unreadable text strings. A sighted VO or HoverText user would access these through the API. If these are hidden, they are out of luck. I would say that if there is ever a possibility that the text may be rendered (for example, small text on a large wide desktop display) then the full text should be exposed to the accessibility API. -- GitHub Notification of comment by cookiecrook Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/12859#issuecomment-3962232134 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
