I don't know how much easier it can be to browse the web with speech than it
is in windows.
When you open google, you silence it with control and press the letter F and
you are in the edit field, then you press enter to type something into the
field, and enter to start the search.
In the new window, you press the letter N for next field, and keep doing
this until you get to the text you want.
You can jump to a link that you have already been to with the letter V, and
there is more hot keys for the web.
I use control down arrow to move from hit to hit.
I am not by any means supporting windows, as I don't like its instability,
as well as other Microsoft issues.

Hi. I've been free from Windows for 3 years. I was surprised how much
trouble a Windows user had just doing a google search. Maybe web access
is better in Windows, but it no longer seems that way to me. I don't
have to jump through all the hoops a Windows screen reader user needs to
do to get web access to a simple text sight.
