Hi.

Do many, if any screen reader users use the new sidebar in google Chrome?

I'm a screen reader user for many years, and I never have used it, but have been asked about it from a work perspective, as I'm an accessibility engineer.

On an initial glance, I need to use the tab key several times to focus it, which frustrates me a great deal.
I also have been asked to look at its functionality in relation to saved bookmarks, whereby a user should be able to navigate their saved bookmarks using this sidebar too.

If anyone has any experience using it, it would be great to hear your thoughts.

Thanks in advance.
Best wishes,

Brian Dalton.
