Chromium works here with no problems at all. I'm not sure what makes
Chrome better than Chromium, as both should work with Chromevox. That
said, the Chromium-chromevox package in the AUR is designed for
Chromium, so you will have better luck using that browser, since
Chromium is the version in the Arch official repository if either Arch
or Sonar is your chosen distribution. In most other distributions, you
will need to install ChromeVox manually by copying a very oddly named
file, so it really doesn't matter if you use Chrome or Chromium. I think
the only real difference is if you want to use Netflix, but that's
supposed to work in Firefox now, although it doesn't where here yet.
Regarding Flash, I haven't used it in years, because it's all but
deprecated upstream, and only a few straggling webmasters still insist
on using it. Well there's that, and also the fact that neither Flash nor
any alternative has ever worked with a screen reader on anything other
than some very hit or miss cases on Windows, but that was also many
years ago, and I don't know how even that combo works now. Thing is
Adobe killed Flash on pretty much all but Windows now anyway, so it's
really not being updated anywhere else, and so really isn't even worth
trying to get working now. For nearly everything that says it needs
Flash, there seems to be a work-around that generally does well using
something like mpv or vlc, or even youtube-dl, and all these are far
more screen reader friendly anyway, so I just use those.
