I was working on one of my web side projects and trying to make it accessible. This page had a bunch of links and I couldn’t tab through them. This was working just fine in other browsers like Chrome and Firefox. After trying to use tabindex, searching for others answers on Google, I remembered there was an option in the Safari Advanced preferences to make everything tabbable. Turning this option solved the problem for me.

Here is the thing. This option should be default or it should be renamed. Also this option should not be under Advanced. I feel Advanced is the junk drawer to put random thing which don’t belong anywhere else.I don’t remember how I figured it out the first time. Most likely a StackOverflow answer. This should be under a new Accessibility tab.
