Agreed,, there is definitely a need for people to be able to express their preferences in browsers, but the question becomes how this should be standardised and whether browser manufacturers will come on board with it ... -----Original Message----- From: Patrick H.

Not as laborious as trying to convince every website on the web to make certain changes, or to drop certain approaches, which is something that even just for the humble CSS outline failed for decades (noting that the :focus-visible approach itself was spec'd exactly with the intention of providing a way to be more adaptive/reactive to user needs - now we need a way for users to more directly express their needs in the browser itself - this is similar to parallel discussions about media queries and how users should be able to express their preferences for these in browser settings).
