Why people are not replicating the screen reader experience of native elements in their uselessly custom JS widgets is beyond me. ANyway, just spotted this lovely chatty fake box in the wild. "option <Option_name> focused, 1 of 12. 12 results available. Use Up and Down to choose options, press Enter to select the currently focused option, press Escape to exit the menu, press Tab to select the option and exit the menu." Obviously all of this gets announced for every press in the list of options.

@jakobrosin I’ve seen this a few times, pretty sure it must be some very popular widget a lot of sites use. Gets even better when it’s implemented incorrectly and the accessibility just says “object object is selected” so you have no idea what you’re doing.

@pitermach Yep, looks like it came from some library to me as well. Its an estonian site, and all the announcement stuff is obviously not translated.
