Hi Birkir,
I just tested the Wave plug-in in Chrome to see if I could duplicate the problem. After activating the Wave plug-in button, the Wave report panel was injected into the page at the top of the DOM. On my system, it took about 10 seconds for Wave plug-in to analyze the page and then inject the report panel into the page. Once the report panel was injected, I was able to read and interact with the content using an older version of NVDA and Chrome. The Wave panel appears to use semantic HTML and an ARIA tab panel widget for presenting its content.
HTH,
Marc
