Comment:

 After noticing that the admin toolbar's extra profile link currently uses
 a negative tabindex (since r19559), that attribute seems viable in this
 case, too.

 The feed link also would need `aria-hidden="true"` to hide it (with NVDA).

 To minimize the changes in [attachment:"47670.tabindex.patch"], I kept the
 direct feed URL (instead of matching the text link) plus the untranslated
 alt text.

 If the aria-hidden and tabindex attributes make sense here, they could be
 added to the more elaborate proposal (#52224) as well. Both these tickets
 could close with one commit if that filter option suffices.
