Hello,
That browser looks cool, but I try to keep the amount of programs on my
computer down. So what works 90% of the time is the copy and paste. Only
things that don't show up are the labels of the elements such as link,
button, checkbox and whatnot. But those are things my screen reader reads
that most people don't see.
Thanks,
