While had sort of forgotten about opera web browser since it didn't seem to work with screen readers a little while ago, realised that it nowadays seems to have implemented a sort of embedded form of chrome, which means that you can work perfectly well enough with it, along with NVDA.
And, the other advantage is that while it has a similar form of interface in terms of menu system to chrome, besides that, the interface is a lot cleaner/simpler, and, for example, shift+tab from address bar will in fact just take you to the web page contents.
Now, while haven't played around with all of it's settings as of yet, it does also, at the very least, make use of all the standard/same keystrokes as internet explorer, chrome, etc. - as in, keystrokes to open links in new popup windows, navigating back/forward through history, etc., and, it also seems to have a couple of nice, other tweaks, etc., like what it refers to as it's speed-dial, which lets you assign hotkeys to bring up specific websites, etc. etc.
Anyway, specifically what with it's cleaner form of an interface, but, still being based on chrome, I am pretty sure this will be my default browser - unless come across some specific problems...<smile>
And, lastly, FWIW, in the old sighted days, opera was also generally my browser of choice, simply since it was, even back then, basically a stripped down, cleaner interface, which is meant to be able to load webpages quicker, use less system resources, etc. etc.

Opera is an alternative web browser, that does seem to operate making use of a form of chrome for rendering the web contents, but, thus far, it's interface is better than chrome's own one - my opinion anyway.

On my side it seems as fast as chrome, but, haven't really done anything like a form of speed-testing.
Main thing is that the interface definitely works better for me than chrome, in terms of doing something simple like loading a webpage, and getting to page contents immediately - I work with the web a lot.
And, while I like firefox, it does still seem to, at times, cause minor lock-up issues with NVDA, but anyway.
But, yes, I am a web developer, so I actually switch between different browsers for different forms of activity, or at times just to make sure they react/act in similar fashions depending on what am playing around with in terms of client-side activity, but anyway.

Ok, and, just tested it with a relatively data intensive webpage that am working with - 40 headings, and 1540 links on it, and used both server-side and client-side time output to compare loading times, and while chrome, opera and firefox took a second to load the page, internet explorer actually beat all of them, since it came out as 0 seconds - means it's probably something like half a second which got rounded down to 0.
This is on my own dev machine, so it has nothing to do with pulling data from a remote server, but, to do with loading the document object model for all elements, etc., and, NVDA didn't seem to act differently with any of these browsers in terms of how long it took to have buffered all the content.

There are chrome extensions that are meant to help with that, but, haven't really tried them out yet, and, FWIW, can't currently get firefox to handle webvisum/captcha at all in any case - even if can get webvisum extension installed, if I enable it, that's when firefox and NVDA really don't seem to cooperate on my side.

Now, while haven't played around with all of it's settings as of yet, it does also, at the very least, make use of all the standard/same keystrokes as internet explorer, chrome, etc. - as in, keystrokes to open links in new popup windows, navigating back/forward through history, etc., and, it also seems to have a couple of nice, other tweaks, etc., like what it refers to as it's speed-dial, which lets you assign hotkeys to bring up specific websites, etc. etc.
Anyway, specifically what with it's cleaner form of an interface, but, still being based on chrome, I am pretty sure this will be my default browser - unless come across some specific problems...<smile>
And, lastly, FWIW, in the old sighted days, opera was also generally my browser of choice, simply since it was, even back then, basically a stripped down, cleaner interface, which is meant to be able to load webpages quicker, use less system resources, etc. etc.
Stay well

Opera is an alternative web browser, that does seem to operate making use
of a form of chrome for rendering the web contents, but, thus far, it's interface is better than chrome's own one - my opinion anyway.

While had sort of forgotten about opera web browser since it didn't seem
to work with screen readers a little while ago, realised that it nowadays seems to have implemented a sort of embedded form of chrome, which means that you can work perfectly well enough with it, along with
NVDA.
And, the other advantage is that while it has a similar form of interface in terms of menu system to chrome, besides that, the interface
is a lot cleaner/simpler, and, for example, shift+tab from address bar will in fact just take you to the web page contents.
Now, while haven't played around with all of it's settings as of yet, it
does also, at the very least, make use of all the standard/same keystrokes as internet explorer, chrome, etc. - as in, keystrokes to open links in new popup windows, navigating back/forward through history, etc., and, it also seems to have a couple of nice, other tweaks, etc., like what it refers to as it's speed-dial, which lets you
