2.8.1 (former 4.8.1) Configure Position: : When graphical user agent user interfaces have toolbars, the user can add, remove and configure the position of user agent user interface controls on those toolbars from a pre-defined set of controls. (Level AAA) Intent of Success Criterion 2.8.1 (former 4.8.1) : The objective of this criteria is to allow the user to customize the toolbars of a user agent in ways that work best for the method in which he or she is using the browser. This can reduce keystrokes, bring buttons into view that are hidden by default or otherwise allow the user to interact with the user agent in a more efficient fashion. Examples of Success Criterion 2.8.1 (former 4.8.1) : Martin accesses the computer by pressing keys with a stick held in his mouth known as a mouthstick and gets around the user agent with taps on the tab and arrow keys. The designers of a user agent have decided to place a button for printing a web page as the last button on a toolbar. This button requires six presses of a right arrow key to reach for Carl and is the only button he uses on the toolbar. Using a preferences dialog, Carl is able to configure this toolbar to only show the Print button, reducing the number of presses he must issue with his mouthstick to one.

(Level AAA) Intent of Success Criterion 2.8.2 (former 4.8.2) : The objective of this success criteria is to ensure that users have a mechanism to get back to a known state with user agent toolbars. Examples of Success Criterion 2.8.2 (former 4.8.2) : Sarah uses a screen magnifier and has learned that a button for adding web pages as bookmarks is in the upper right corner of the screen. A friend made changes to Sarah's browser and now Sarah is unable to find her Bookmark button. She goes into a preferences dialog and uses an option to restore browser toolbars to default and can once again find her Bookmark button.
