Yes you can use both but I've seen some front end developers blank out alt altogether when they are using figcaption.

I did not find this practice in MDN Web Docs but I found it in an other place:

If you’re using an image that has a caption, it may not need alt text if the caption contains all of the relevant visual information.


I was just wondering what Mozilla's method was for finding these images and if they took other things in to consideration like decorative images.

What you quoted is for the feature to add in images to PDFs. It doesn't work for existing PDFs with images already.

In the future, we want to be able to provide an alt text for any existing image in PDFs, except images which just contain text (it’s usually the case for PDFs containing scanned books).

That's how I read it atleaat. I could be wrong.

A couple of months ago, they told the Microsoft sales team that they would not give them the data of their members. I want to know who they are working with to do this.

It is for websites. This is most useful for readers that don't display images. The feature for websites should be added for version 130. I'm on Developer Edition and I am currently on 127. It will be implemented for PDFs in the future after that.

But even for a simple static page there are certain types of information, like alternative text for images, that must be provided by the author to provide an understandable experience for people using assistive technology (as required by the spec)

I wonder if this includes websites that use <figcaption> with alt emptied.

When is this shit pulled by Samsung and now Google considered stealing?

I just looked at how big LibreOffice Writer is, 210 MB as a portable app... Wow...

AbiWord Portable is probably the smallest and even that is 15 MB installed...

That's good. I asked because Google wiped out all non-mobile search results for mobile devices. This happened in 2015 so I was thinking the timeline kinda matches.

Was your blog mobile friendly?

I think you replied to the wrong comment. If you didn't please clarify so I can better answer your question.

Being able to upgrade the those things is such a killer feature for me. My next laptop will probably from Framework. Thanks for the info!
