Further to the skip links - "modern" accessibility tools including Apples VoiceOver uses semantic markup first before things like skip links. This means each page you visit it will look for a <main> and automatically skip to it or bypass anything in <nav> making the skip links even less useful for screen reader tech (keyboard nav is different kettle of fish)

Interesting, I hadn't heard this before, thanks for sharing! In any case, it is still useful for users that use their keyboard to navigate.
