Summary
Chrome 141 adds support for the
ariaNotify()method; see https://chromestatus.com/feature/5745430754230272.This method is currently non-standard, but will be added to the specs imminently; see w3c/aria#2577.
I have put it down as a partial implementation; in tests (see https://chrisdavidmills.github.io/ariaNotify-demo/, test in Windows with a screenreader on), I have found it to work well on Windows with both the Narrator and NVDA screenreaders, in both Chrome and Edge. On macOS, however, it doesn't seem to read out the notifications reliably at all. I've asked about Linux support.
