Accessibility Widget
An accessibility widget is a UI panel — typically a floating button that opens a preferences sidebar — offering toggleable settings (text size, contrast modes, dyslexia-friendly fonts, motion preferences, language switching) for end users to customise their browsing experience; widgets can supplement source-level accessibility but do not replace it.
About Accessibility Widget
When designed as a true preferences layer (opt-in, source-secondary), widgets are uncontroversial. When marketed as a compliance solution (overlay model), they are the subject of widespread critique.
