At Astrotouristing, we understand web accessibility as an essential feature that guarantees equitable access to information and services, regardless of the user's abilities or limitations. As far as possible, we are committed to to an inclusive and universal website, adapted for people with permanent or temporary disabilities, and which also improves the overall browsing experience.
The concept of web accessibility seeks to eliminate both sensory and physical barriers to access. It also offers additional advantages to users without disabilities, such as improved usability and compatibility with different devices. Since 2008, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has promoted the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0 and 2.1).
Most current browsers (such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Safari, among others) offer built-in accessibility features that improve the browsing experience for all types of users. Some of these features are:
Browsers include multiple toolbars: address bar, favorites, history, extensions, etc. These can be hidden for a simpler interface or customized to suit user preferences.
Los navegadores incluyen múltiples barras de herramientas: direcciones, favoritos, historial, extensiones, etc. Estas pueden ocultarse para facilitar una interfaz más simple, o bien personalizarse para adaptarlas a las preferencias del usuario.
Full Screen: Pressing F11 activates a simplified view without menus or toolbars.
Links Bar: Allows you to save shortcuts to frequently used pages.
Favorites: Organizes links in a personalized and accessible way.
