What would be a better alternative than LaTex for the alt text? I can't think of a solution that makes more sense, it provides an unambiguous representation of what's depicted. I wouldn't think an LLM would have issue with th

I’ve been using Firefox for nearly 20 years. Lately I’ve noticed more and more websites that don’t work with it. Usually I can just ignore the bugs or avoid the site, but sometimes it’s something that I have to do (like pay a bill) and so I
