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 github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issue… 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 addons.nvda-project.org/addons…

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

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.
