Has anyone created a ticket on Github abut iTunes 12.9? Apple Support did reach out to me via Twitter, but they gave me the standard Yaba dab about contacting the 3^rd party software company which is NV Access.

That’s crazy.

How many tabs do you have open before that happens?

 

I’m mostly still using Firefox and, bar periodic irritating crashes, am really happy.

Hi,

Chrome opens each add on in a separate instance.

If I close one process chrome.exe, it may report that ublock origin has crashed, etc.

However I haven't seen these popups that you speak of.

 

What I am seeing, though, is chrome using ridiculous amounts of ram. Right now it is managing to take a machine with 16 gb of ram to its knees rather eloquently.

No, it's not addware.  There is a setting in chrome that allows those popups about tech news, and my son knows which one it is, but I personally haven't been able to find it in my copy of chrome, so I need to ask him again which setting it is to turn it off.  The news titles pop up in the system notifications area on the pc.  The setting in chrome turns those pop ups off, so they won't do that anymore.  I've looked through my settings, and couldn't find which setting was causing it, but I'll ask him again and repost here after I get it turned off. 

Those don't bother me as much as the flippin' login to my apple drive that keeps popping up every half hour or so, which seems also to be triggered by my first opening of chrome after a reboot.  I'd really like to turn those off.  I'll log in to the silly thing when I want to use it, not until then, so stop asking me already.

With regards to Chrome,

Has anyone else had ads popping up when Chrome is open?

After I close Chrome, I have to bring up the task manager and close several more instances of it to keep the pop-up ads from happening.

Chrome loads itself with multiple instances for more stability, each instance for a different process.

But I have gone through settings and seemingly turned off anything related to pop-ups and notifications, and it still happens.

Thanks.

Given the increasing popularity of Chrome among blind users, this article from Kim Komando is important.  The Chrome designers are implementing a change which is very bad for security, dumbing down the product for asthetics.  Let's hope the protests from security experts and others cause them to remember that they are not supposed to do harm, as part of their founding principles.

The Adobe Acrobat find feature is weird and doesn't quite work nicely with screen-readers in my experience.

You should have both Adobe and qRead on your system if you want, imo.
I like qRead mostly because it is fast as hell. If you set Adobe to load the entire document, which is wise if you really want proper functionality to work, but then try to open a really large file, you've no doubt noticed how irritatingly long it takes to process. qRead can do this in just a few seconds. So I like how small and snappy it is by comparison.

However, sometimes you will just need the Adobe product instead. qRead doesn't always seem to show document formatting properly. You can't print from it if I remember right, and anyway, if formatting is wanky, you wouldn't want to. You can't fill out forms. Etc, etc.

I don’t quite remember the process, but I did acquire an account somewhat recently after receiving an invitation code from a friend. Maybe 2015?

However, Webvism nonetheless never successfully solved anything for me. I remember repeatedly getting the message “no captsha (sp) found”, or something of that nature, even though one was clearly supposed to be present.

Some of the other bells and whistles also seemed to be interfering with Firefox’s functionality, too.

So I just trashed the whole thing.

I know other people have had different experiences, but, well, that was mine. I’d try it again if I knew it was being supported, but as it clearly isn’t, I just no longer see the point in wasting my time and effort.

Gene,

         God only knows why your general stance is to say "black" when anyone else says "white," but it's as annoying as hell.

          I got an invitation from a member here in 2016.  I went through the registration process.  That's where the process stopped.  Nothing comes back.

          If anyone, and I do mean anyone, can complete a new account registration for Webvisum there are a very great many who would love to know how to do so.  I haven't seen a single example of success in several years and know that my own, following their instructions and getting an invitation from a member, went into the great bit bucket in the sky.

The trouble with using their access page is that you will get a cookie that is a pain to remove.
If you are happy with the access pages for your only Amazon page option, then going to the access page is okay, but I dislike the lack of detail on the access pages, and once you go there, you will never get back to a regular amazon page again, no matter how hard you try.
You will have to use a different browser or remove the access page cookie they put into your browser.
I wasted many hours figuring this out because no matter what I did, I could not ever get a normal Amazon page after going to the access site.
