Abstract
Blind users are facing enormous difficulties in accessing Online Social Networks (OSN). OSN are complex and they have a cluttered structure. The mobile website is much more suitable for screen readers, but the amount of information and functionalities are not the same as on the regular website. This paper develops a browser extension to restructure Facebook's regular homepage to an accessible version. For that, the current state of the regular website has been analyzed to identify shortcomings, then the target state has been developed, considering HTML 5 and HCI guidelines, and it has been tested by a blind person.
