    The “gimmick” is proposing alt text based on the image when editing PDFs. I don’t see how it’s unhelpful.

    A gambling toolbar that links to Polymarket could be helpful. But I think we both said “crucial”.

    If you know someone who uses Firefox to add images to PDFs so often that the alt text generation would be crucial to them, or even more than a gimmick, please introduce me to them. I have so many burning questions. Several things related to “why not a dedicated PDF editor?!”

      Please never develop any software for other humans without first developing any kind of compassion or empathy for others.
      You are the stereotypical nerd that doesn’t understand people may have different needs than you, so I have to justify how a feature relating to accessibility can be useful…
