Hi everyone,

For those who use NVDA with the mouse with Chromium-based browsers such as Chrome, Edge, Brave or Vivaldi, we are aware of a bug in recent Chromium builds meaning reading with the mouse doesn’t currently work in a lot of situations. This is a Chromium bug we aren’t able to do anything about from NVDA’s side. One thing it has certainly highlighted is the number of users who do use the mouse with NVDA, so that is certainly useful to know - and indeed, something we have known for some time thanks to @rumster@rblind.com

If you want to follow the Chromium issue, you can find it on the Chromium issue tracker

We included a piece on this in our blog out just now, though I should add, there is no workaround we are aware of in Chromium browsers, the only alternative currently if you need that functionality, is to use Firefox.

Hopefully it will be rectified soon.
