This is not true. I suspect it is a myth, I've heard it for decades now.

WebAIM[0]:

> display:none or visibility: hidden

> The content is removed from the visual flow of the page and is ignored by screen readers

Are you sure? It's my understanding that screen readers know to ignore elements with display:none;

There’s a way to hide from screen readers too if the OP was so inclined:

display: none hides the content from screen readers, as it is not rendered.

aria-hidden is for elements that were rendered but are hidden (it's redundant on elements with a display value of `none`)

oh yes yes. what was i thinking! ty for correction
