Comment (by afercia):

 Noticed the similar "browser interface" image used for the sidebar control
 does have an alt attribute 'Browser interface preview' that should be
 removed for consistency.

 Also, some text is redundant when using a screen reader:
 - the bold text and the alt attributes say the same thing
 - the site name is just for visual purposes, should be hidden for
 assistive technologies

 See in the screenshots below where I've highlighted the text I'd like to
 hide for AT.

 I'd be in favor of closing this ticket and open a new one focused on these
 small improvements.
