Hi all. A few weeks ago, I launched a discussion about the accessibility
of Gemini browsers, particularly of preformatted blocks. Now, I have
begun exploring the general accessibility of browsers as a whole. Things
I look at:

## gemiNaut
GemiNaut is really great too. I can use the UI, headings and links are
labeled, I can read the text of a site just like a website, so screen
reader navigation keys work. But, preformatted blocks aren't hidden, and
I've not found a setting to do this in the browser. I'll have to look
and see if there have been any updates to it in the last few weeks,
though. Otherwise, it works great!
I've been doing some simple fixes to GemiNaut to improve accessibility further. In particular there is now an option to skip over each preformatted section if you are using a screen reader - and the link includes the alt text label (if any) so you can make an informed decision whether to skip or not.
I've created a Github ticket and pushed the changes.

I haven't rebuild GemiNaut binary yet, but I'll do a new build soon.
