Murrah shares personal experiences and touches on the history of why outlines were often removed, while advocating for the use of :focus-visible to enhance accessibility without compromising design. She encourages users to push for better practices in 2026 and not to accept the outdated notion that outlines clutter the UI. With resources like the WCAG success criteria, we can create more inclusive web experiences today.
