[tor-talk] A community concern that needs to be addressed,

[Sarah Alawami]

I actually had to stopped using the  browser as it is not accessible for mac, at least under voiceover. When you launch it you hear tor has no windows. A command l does not hep and I could not see any menu bars. So although tor is getting better it has a long long way to go.

Blessings and happy Friday
