Respondents are predominantly comfortable with allowing screen reader detection by web sites. However, this favorability has decreased over time - 78.4% of respondents to this question in 2014 were very or somewhat comfortable with allowing screen reader detection, compared to 62.5% in 2019. Respondents with disabilities were significantly more likely to be favorable of detection than respondents without disabilities.
