I'm not, basically. My bank wouldn't allow a non-commercial web
browser to access the accounts, so I use Firefox in Windows XP, with the
NVDA screen reader (http://www.nvda-project.org). I do pretty much all
my web purchases from the Windows GUI. The rest I normally use
edbrowse. Has a 2 to 4 hour learning curve to master, but once you
start getting the hang of it and work extensively with the search
function, once you're familiar with a particular web page layout, you
can navigate almost as fast as if you were sighted. Wish his Jupiter
screen reader was a Debian package. Karl Dahlk is pretty familiar with
how the blind work best and fastest.
