How each feature is designed 
to help you browse

Individual needs: We suggest features that may be helpful based on common needs, but everyone’s preferences are different. You’re free to use any tools that work best for you.

Assistive technologies: EnableAll is designed to support (not replace) assistive technologies. You may prefer to use your own device or browser-based tools, and that’s completely fine. We welcome feedback if you notice any conflicts between EnableAll and your personal assistive technology.
