Overlay widgets

Do accessibility overlay widgets make my website ADA compliant?

No. The FTC fined accessiBe $1 million in April 2025 for falsely claiming its overlay made websites WCAG-compliant. EcomBack reports 22.64% of websites sued in H1 2025 had an overlay installed. The American Bar Association and the National Federation of the Blind both reject overlays as a compliance strategy.
