@NVAccess Good as NVDA is, I wish that simple thing of reading the address bar in Chrome could be addressed when you open the browser. That's a problem that's been with NVDA for ever.
@TalkingDroid It would be worth creating an issue on https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues requesting it. In the meantime, if you use Firefox and the Mozilla App Enhancements add-on, you can press NVDA+A to read the current page URL https://addons.nvda-project.org/addons/mozillaScripts.en.html
I’m really struggling to think of a time when I would like to know the address without actually just going there with altD@NVAccess@fosstodon.org @TalkingDroid
@NVAccess I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about when you open Chrome and NVDA is just silent. It doesn't even read the edit area of the address bar to tell you you've even opened the browser. Should have been fixed years ago. Even Narrator does that.
@NVAccess Big apology, looks like it has been fixed. Tha one passed me by. I just ran NVDA, and what do ya know, it's reading the address bar now.
@TalkingDroid Ah no problem, glad yo ugot the fix :)
