Recently, someone posted on LinkedIn that skip links are often broken because their target elements are missing a tabindex attribute. I was really surprised to see that because I thought that was an issue of the past. That's why I decided to test it.

In the previous post, I explained how to hide presentational SVGs using aria-hidden="true".
That's a reliable technique, but sometimes I see developers use role="presentation" instead, which may or may not work as expected.

The title says it all: put aria-hidden="true" on decorative SVGs, or they'll be announced by some screen readers.
