Focus Indicator (focus-indicator)

Display focus indicator for the active intractable element in a webpage.

Why?

While accessing any digital interface, focus indicator, is very important. Focus indicator highlights the active intractable component or control. It is true for web pages also.

By default, every browser highlights the active intractable element. But sometimes, web developers, suppress it, which creates the problem.

For example, when accessing abc NEWS, via keyboard, active intractable elements are not visually identifiable.

Focus Indicator extension, to the rescue. As the name suggests, it highlights the active intractable element in a webpage.

If you prefer accessing web pages via keyboard, this extension will be super helpful.
