It has nothing to do with superblind people nor
with blind people at all, whom you generalize about and disparage by saying that
they just offer opinions. I didn't look up such information because I
thought there was unlikely to be another such add on. There are lots of
blind people who use firefox who don't use sounds and they aren't, nor do
they hold themselves out as super blind people.
If you finally looked something up, after this
discussion has gone on for a month, fine. I'm glad you found something
that may be useful. You can present such information without disparaging
others. You can also express an opinion such as, some blind people
are too intent on convincing others to do something another way. That
isn't disparaging or dismissive.
As to the issue of sounds, my position is that
if you use an older version of a browser which has stopped being supported just
because of sounds, that is an overreliance on
sounds. Sacrificing security for sounds when there are other ways to
tell when a page finishes loading and of following downloads is, in my opinion,
a bad idea. Things aren't ideal. In deciding whether to hear sounds
or have a safer computer, I think choosing sounds is a bad choice. there
is nothing superblind about it. If you disagree, fine. You can
express your disagreement without being disparaging.
