VoiceOver on a Mac running OS X Yosemite works great in Safari, but I've had a bit of trouble in Google Chrome. Others on AppleVis say the same thing about Chrome in Yosemite. It worked great in Mavericks though. But in Safari, I'm finding very good results if I navigate using the VO and arrow keys. In fact, tabbing seems to skip over items in some instances such as with System Preferences, but most of the time this isn't a problem.

As an Opera-12 user who is sticking with it because of the great keyboard
navigation (well, also because new Opera doesn't run on 32-bit), I am
eagerly looking to see if its spiritual replacement, vivaldi, will be
the same.

Created by some former Opera guys (at least half the team), and they say
they are bringing in "keyboard" but I'm not sure if it's the same.
