One thing I've thought about – how much harm did the Chrome team do by adding default outlines to focused elements? Although well intentioned, I think making it the default for all users resulted in pretty much every website adding "outline: 0" to their css: https://www.google.com/search?q=chrome+remove+blue+border https://www.google.com/search?q=chrome+remove+blue+border, which ultimately harmed the ecosystem for keyboard only users.
- bubbab 5y agoHopefully this will start to go away soon. I learned recently that Chrome 90 (released April 2021) replaced :focus with :focus-visible in the default UA style sheet, so the focus ring will only show when using the keyboard now. https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/gv69rSngHDY/m/B_p8K21kAgAJ https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/gv69r...
