Overlay

Carmensol.com has the AccessiBe widget on the lower left hand side of its website.  It did take several seconds for the AccessiBe icon to load on my browser.

Here’s a screenshot of Carmensol.com with the AccessiBe toolbar menu open from July 24, 2020:

The last screenshot from Archive.org I see is from 2019 which doesn’t show AccessiBe. There is an accessibility policy from AccessiBe but I did not see that page in Archive.org.
