I haven't used it enough to have
an opinion about adding it to the list in terms of
accessibility. It appears to be more or less accessible from
the little I played with it. I may or may not be curious
enough to test it further. But my question is, what advantage
does the browser present? In my brief testing, I saw none. I
read a review in PC Magazine and the benefits appear to be
those sighted people would be interested in. I saw nothing
that would improve useability for blind users. We don't care
and don't benefit from the kinds of visual differences you can
choose such as stacking tabs in a different way.
So, at present, my view is that
even if the browser is included in the list of accessible
browsers, I see no advantage in using it.

Hi Jacob
Just found your email and downloaded the browser to take it for
a quick test drive. it seems pretty useable and also lets you
use most quick navigation keys. I was able to go to different
pages and go back to the main one etc
I have not had a look under the settings etc but it seem to
speak out menus etc as wewll as the web content.
I wonder if others users have taken it for a test drive and
what do they think of it as well, should it be added to the list
of useable browsers it seems very likely. so far.

something like some of chrome's elements to render actual

main reason is since, according the wired.com review came
across of it, it's highly customisable in terms of most of
it's interface - haven't had a chance to try too much of
that as of yet, but, yes, could browse the 'net with it,
and, while don't know many keyboard shortcuts - think you
can also customise them, it seems usable:
Stay well
