Deprecated ARIA roles must not be used
What is the problem?
The "aria-deprecated-role" rule ensures that elements do not use outdated ARIA roles.
Impacted Groups
Why is this important?
Using deprecated ARIA roles can lead to inconsistent and unreliable behavior of assistive technologies. This can hinder users' ability to access and understand web content, especially those who rely on screen readers.
How to solve this issue
To address this issue, use only current and supported ARIA roles. This ensures that assistive technologies can correctly interpret the elements and provide an accurate user experience.
