Safari will sometimes skip elements on some websites. I noticed this when trying to get information from my medical insurance website. I was looking for my coverage limits and, when I opened the section, Voiceover read the paragraph before the limits, and when I pressed either VO right arrow, or just pressed the down arrow, I would be place immediately after the information. However, when I opened the page using Google Chrome, I could read all the elements on the page. I am concerned because I am not sure if I am missing important information on other websites. I started noticing this behaviour when I updated to Mac OS 26, and was hopeful that the update to 26.1 would fix it.
I called Apple Accessibility, and shared my screen with the agent. She saw the behaviour, and had me open Safari in Safe mode. In safe mode, the problem still persisted. She noted that this was a bug and she reported to their engineering team. Let's hope it is fixed in the next update.
