Layout
The service does not block mechanisms built into web browsers to facilitate viewing of content by visually impaired people, such as
- changing the font size up to 200% without losing readability and context of the site;
- changing the colour contrast, including correct support for system dark themes;
- using CSS to build the entire service.
The service is equipped with additional mechanisms to facilitate content browsing, such as
- dedicated skip link navigation menu;
- proper labels for screen reading software;

31. All information that is automatically moved and visible for more than 5 seconds or automatically updates has a mechanism to stop or hide it.
