By reader add on, do you mean the feature that
removes extraneous material such as blocs of links from articles? There is
nothing directly in Chrome that does that. I tried an add on that does it
awhile ago, but there was an accessibility problem, I don't remember what it was
now and I couldn't use it. others may know of a way to use it or another
add on.

So does chrome have a reader at on, rather like what you get with
Safari either on a Mac or on the phone? The android version of chrome doesn’t
have that, and it’s a huge disadvantage in my opinion. I’m guessing that the
desktop version either has it built in or at least has an ad
on.

I use download notifier for sounds, and google sound effects tweaked so it
doesn't make sounds for everything I do key typing scroling down pages,
etc.

you'll know it because the screen-reader automatically starts to read it.
When a page doesn't load for some reason, a lot of the time there is an error
message. When you download a file, you can easily check the estimated time
remaining for the download. I understand the desire to hear a sound when a
download finishes because that will tell you, without you having to check or
without perhaps getting busy with something else and forgetting to check in a
timely manner. But how much of the concern with sounds is just
habit? Maybe people would be surprised if they didn't use browser sounds
for three days as a trial, how quickly almost all of the sounds fade into
insignificance. Even the download finished sound may decrease
significantly in importance.
