Chrome is landing aria-description exposed in AXCustomContent (https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/4015695), and we would like to follow up exposing aria-describedby in the same way. 1941630 4 aleventhal 2023-03-15 12:51:25 -0700 @James Craig, we implemented this in Chrome and unfortunately it was reverted because people weren't expecting the user-facing change part of it. One question, is it worth considering that for very short descriptions, needing to hear "more content available" and go through the menu/command is counterproductive? Maybe it should just read the description if it's on the short side, according to some heuristic. Also am hopeful that this change soon. I'm hesitant to reland Valerie's change to Chrome if WebKit isn't going to match. 1941795 5 cfleizach 2023-03-15 23:54:24 -0700 (In reply to Aaron Leventhal from comment #4) > @James Craig, we implemented this in Chrome and unfortunately it was > reverted because people weren't expecting the user-facing change part of it. > > One question, is it worth considering that for very short descriptions, > needing to hear "more content available" and go through the menu/command is > counterproductive?

Still planning to land this in 2023. I'll let James weigh in on whether he thinks this is the right course of action as well, but I do believe this is the design of the platforms. Extra info and actions are available through rotors in order to reduce chatter. 1942320 6 jcraig 2023-03-18 10:52:35 -0700 Additional comments from web authors on a11y slackers https://web-a11y.slack.com/archives/C042TSFGN/p1679073626809829 1951435 7 jcraig 2023-04-26 13:53:22 -0700 See bug 255812 1957164 8 cfleizach 2023-05-22 16:48:18 -0700 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 255812 ***
