Tweaking a browser is not a different task for jQuery. In fact, jQuery has tons of plugins that can really tweak your browser. There are several kinds of browser tweaks though but we’re going to focus on jQuery browser tweaks since jQuery is our main topic here. So once again, I’ve come across to different websites and found these useful jQuery browser tweaks just for you.
Here they are:
1. jQuery Accessible
A collection of snippets that will improve accessibility for websites. It includes a set of “recommendations” coded as tests to improve it even beyond javascript then these recommendations can be tried against a page and get a summary of results.
