RE: Reflow persona "What's New WCAG 2.1"

So, one of the potential solution could be having the ‘close’ option (to exit) those pop-ups / overlays e.g. ads, cookies, chat will pass this SC Reflow? As sometimes these overlays become important to display on the site and let the users close it when it is not needed for them. Your thoughts?

Thank you

This is good, it's a common problem.  I'm also taking it to mean that all those websites which have ads which take up 50% of the browser's viewable area and a cookie warning which takes up another 45% automatically fail.  And it's even worse when you have the browser's zoom or Windows DPI set higher than 100%.  I was just trying to read an article on the Daily Mail website, and it's appalling - I can't even scroll right because the text doesn't go past the right side of the screen, it's just that the video ad is on top of the right 40% of it (and the newspaper banner takes up about the top 60% of the screen.  I could read the left half of three lines and I didn't bother, I just closed it.

Please consider the following.
"It's nearly impossible to read text if I have to scroll right and left to read each line. It's disorienting and I lose my place. It makes it hard to understand what I'm reading."

"I have to scroll 50 to 100 times to read one page."

The gross amount of scrolling is overwhelming. This was the one SC that got 100% support from the LVTF.

Best, Wayne
