Objective: Support Adaptation and Personalization
Description
Many users need products that support adaptation and personalization. Users should be able to use add-ons and extensions as assistive technology. This includes spell checkers, passwords support, support for text-to-speech, and synchronized highlighting of the phrase being read.
Personalization can allow the user to select preferred, familiar options from a set of alternatives.
Support personalization and simplification when you can. Do not disable add-ons and extensions.
