Is the role = "primary" necessary for the <main> element?

Question

It seems unnecessary to use the ARIA benchmark if the standard element is the most understandable and affordable way to determine the main section of your content <main>. Does it add role="main"to the element that is really needed?

Answer 1

Not all modern browsers have already matched aria-role mainwith an element <main>(so far they only displayed Firefox 21+ and Chrome 26+). When the entire browser will support this function, the attribute role="main"can be discarded, but at the same time it is better to use it.
