After your comment I read the full bug description:

"Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.
While using the orca screen reader and I open chromium it will read the
menus when you first open chromium. It will also read the menus when you
hit alt f and bring up the file option. But when I type in a url and go to
it chromium does not read the website at all. Any website that I try can
not be read with the orca screen reader."

So as Orca is able to speech up the menus, it means that probably they
are using Gtk+ on linux. So I guess (but not sure) that they are
probably using WebKitGtk+ port.

Yes.
