Re: using Ublock
Gene
There appears to be a problem with your Chrome
instructions, at least for some users. On my Windows 7 system, they don't
work as to how to get to the right place. If I press alt, I'm not sure
what happens but nothing usable appears to happen and arrowing appears to do
nothing or nothing meaningful.
To open the Chrome menu, I use alt f. That
is, I press and hold alt and type f. That opens the Chrome menu. I
then up arrow, its closer, to more tools and press enter. that opens a
submenu and I find and press extensions in that submenu. That appears to
open the part of the program where you work with the extension or add-on,
technically I'm not sure what it is.
As is very often the case, there is likely another
or perhaps more than one other way to get to that place. Your instructions
may work for some people but since they don't work on my system, what I'm
describing will probably get people to the right place.

It's fairly straightforward, at least if you're using Chrome, and I'll proceed upon that presumption which you can correct if it's wrong. The info will be useful for others in any case.

Re: using Ublock
And, again, my seemingly intractable right/left confusion, when writing instructions, strikes again.
For Chrome users, you LEFT arrow once focus is on the Chrome button. For Firefox users, you RIGHT arrow after you've tabbed twice to get to the bookmarks button. No matter how many times I look at this stuff at times this particular error gets through. Sorry for the mistakes. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763 Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy. ~ H.L. Mencken

Re: Elements not being reported with NVDA
Jonathan COHN
Actually, this is not an NVDA bug, but a web page bug. The ARIA-LABEL attribute completely replaces the name of the current element with that label. I would recommend inserting a graphic to indicate the page will open in a new tab, and then add alternative text for the screen reader. The author could also, use aria-labeledby and use a reference to a bit of hidden text plus the current element but then they are providing information that apparently is not being presented to the sighted user. With JAWS pressing insert-tab will read various information as it is pressed, and one could eventually get to the true text string. I an not sure if that works in NVDA. JAWS also has the ability to have per a web page settings that override badly written web pages.Jonathan

What's preventing NVDA from reporting the description apparently is an HTML tag. I searched a bit and could understand it but not enough for explain it here, so I'll just give an example. AKA Starboy

What synthesizer are you using and how long have you waited after typing a
letter to see if it is announced? It may be that characters are being
announced but after a rather long lag.

Re: Lightweight and Snappy Web Browsers
Ladies and Gentlemen,
This topic is taking a turn for the "not related to NVDA" side. But, I'm not locking it yet, and I will answer the last question with a link to the Brave system requirements page, since it is no small task to find it: https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/360021357112-What-are-the-system-requirements-to-install-Brave- A brief, and pertinent quote from that page: Windows
Any further in-depth discussion of Brave should be taken to the Chat Subgroup. If there are recommendations for an accessible, lightweight web browser other than Brave then feel free to offer those suggestions. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763 Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy. ~ H.L.

I concur. I've been using Brave for about 8 months now and I find it to work well. It uses Chrome and also has a capability to use Tor. The built-in ad blocking is also helpful.

Re: Keystrokes from other screenreaders NVDA does not have
Richard Wells
Sure there is a key stroke to do this. Just press
CONTROL+SPACE-BAR after arrowing to any desktop icon. Now, nothing
is selected, press SHIFT+F10 or APPLICATIONS-KEY and press w to
bring up the new sub-menu. From there, just press RIGHT-ARROW to
open it and arrow to folder, shortcut, etc, and press ENTER.
Follow the prompts to create your shortcut.
