Accessibility Overlays
JavaScript widgets that claim to fix accessibility automatically. They don't — pages with overlays have more errors, not fewer. 25% of ADA lawsuits in 2024 involved overlay widgets. The FTC fined one provider $1M in 2025 for misleading claims.
In plain terms
Plug-in widgets that promise to 'fix' accessibility automatically. They don't work, and can attract lawsuits rather than prevent them.
Why this matters
They're sold as a quick legal shield but make pages worse and have become a magnet for lawsuits themselves. Relying on one can raise your risk while leaving real users still blocked.
