Yes the fact is there are cut down versions of chrome and firefox et all out there that have no accessibility whatsoever so it is presumably the choice of the company using the engine how they enable access. I just hope that if this proves to be true, they do not make such a cock up with it as they did in the start of Edge.
Brian who hopes the Skype programmers are not in charge of it :-)

Hi,
This changes if Microsoft insists on using UIA to communicate with the supposed new browser/rendering engine.
Cheers,
Joseph

Hi!
If the new variant will be Chromium-based, chances are it will play nice with NVDA.
Best,
Felix

Hi,
Like any rumors, this is bound to change without notice if market conditions and other variables change.
Cheers,

Ron, while I, honestly, haven't bothered trying out edge too much, all I really meant with my comment was that, if MS themselves are discarding it, then it might not merit much more attention from the NVDA developers?


And, if it's going to come up in it's current state at times, then, hopefully NVDA versions won't get confused about how they should handle it - if differently at all.


But, I primarily just posted this article here since I found it interesting from a browser end-user point of view.


Stay well

Hi Jacob,


The only issue I have had with NVDA and Edge is the inability of
NVDA to recognize visited links. I have used Edge with great
success on and off over the past year or so--although I do prefer
Firefox as my default browser.

They don't mention anything like time-scale, but, presume this will
mean NVDA devs, etc. can leave out too much worrying about edge
buffering compatibility?
