Re: [orca-list] links list

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

It'll never happen, my friend.  Nobody who's ever experienced it is
knowledgeable or motivated enough to put this into Orca or Firefox
and, nobody who knows how wants to do it.  About a year and a half
ago, someone actually created the beginnings of a patch for Orca to do
this.  I don't know why but his patch never made it into Orca and
noone has pickec up where he left off and, depressingly enough., I
suspect noone ever will.  I don't think the browsing experience in
Linux will ever equal the one to be had in Windows.  In this,
proprietary software is clearly the winner.

Sadly,
