Hi
I am trying out Chromium. The version is below in the about page. does any one have helpful advice using this browser? I notice while down arrowing nvda stops announcing the menu items. After the zoom item two down arrow are not spoken and again after edit item another two down arrows are not spoken. If up arrowing it doesn't do the same. Tabbing around seems to work OK. Starting at the address bar, next tab is bookmark button next tab is Chromium menu oops take that back tabbing around now selects between tabs now along with going threw the open page. I have not configured any thing in it yet so will explore the other tabs. Does any one know the keys to close a tab / focused window? Thanks!

Evidently, you are talking about Chromium, not
Google Chrome. I doubt that meaningful work has been done either by the
Chromium project nor by NVDA on this browser. The popular Google Chrome
browser among sighted users is reasonably accessible but I don't expect
Chromium, a browser that is not at all widely used and that a lot of people
don't even know exists, to be worked on by NVDA developers who, frankly, have
much much more important things to work on affecting a great many more
users than a browser most people haven't even heard of.

Thanks, but it closes the whole browser. Might be I don't have the correct focus. Pete

How many tabs or windows are opened when you issue
the command?
If only one tab or window is opened, that command will
close the browser because you are closing the only opened
window.

Hi evidently The subject line says it all. Write: Re: [nvda] and Chromium Google chrome is based on Chromium. So with out Chromium Google Chrome would not exist. There is also a Canary version of Chromium available. Again with out Chromium Canary Google Chrome Canary would not exist. There is a Chromium OS as well. You can read more about Chromium and Chromium OS on the Chromium web site. Pete

4 tabs are showing when I tab threw the program window. I tab past all that and am in a web page with links. So I think the web page I want to close has focus and I do control + w to close it and the browser closes. It might be the only window open thanks. Do you know if chrome or chromium has a set of default tabs that remain open? I think the 4 tabs I am going threw might be pinned there, not sure now.

Since you neither quote previous messages nor
indicate in any way whom or what you are responding to, I shall assume it is to
me. What do either of your statements have to do with what I said?
The google Chrome designers have worked on accessibility. That doesn't
mean the Chromium team has or has to nearly the same extent. Google Chrome
is Google's version of the chrome browser and if it derived from Chromium
originally, that is irrelevant. It is a separate branch of the
browser. I believe Canary is Google's more or less alpha version of its
version of the browser and, again, it is Google's version of the
browser.

Google Chrome, as I recall, by default, shows many
pages you have recently gone to. I don't recall if those pages are
actually opened or just shown as items you can open. I set Google Chrome
not to show any of them when Chrome opens.

Hi Gene There is no point continuing this verbal sparing. It's there you must have missed it. Pete

chromium is google chrome with all the added stuff google chrome has.

In theory it should be more accessable than chrome without all the extra google stuff on it.

I saw a message from Shaun much earlier today, my
time, indicating that Google Chrome is similar to Chromium. If so, my
comments on accessibility may not apply. I don't know that, I'm just
saying that accessibility may be the same or similar depending on how closely
the branches are related.

Cromium browser is the base product from which Google Chrome and other
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
browsers are developed. Google Chrome is the Cromium Browser plus add-ons such as built in flash, pdf reader and other embellishments. Google Chrome Canary is the bleeding edge of Google Chrome development which can be run alongside standard Chrome. It is used to try out new ideas and is updated daily. As such it can be volatile , so is not recommended unless you are prepared to cope with potential crashes. Cheers Chris

Who develops accessibility and does Google Chrome
have accessibility that Chromium doesn't have? I want to get a clear
understanding of who deals with accessibility. Maybe it's both sets of
developers.
