A while ago Joanie posted an explanation for this on the list.
If I understood correctly and if my memory serves me correctly, it seems that the automatic detection of the presence of a screen reader was returning several false positives.
It looks like this would be causing some performance issues for chromium users who don't use screen readers.
While investigating the cause they found it best to disable
automatic detection.
Right, but that wasn't the question. The original problem wanted to know why Chrome unstable 83 in Mate worked without the flag, but now Chrome unstable 85 does require it.

Everything worked except for a focus problem on initial Chrome startup. Yesterday, I updated Chrome unstable to 85.x. Now, everything is broken. Chrome unstable 85 requires force-renderer-accessible when it didn't before, and it appears that setting ACCESSIBILITY_ENABLED=1 makes no difference. Can anyone confirm this problem, or advise on what to do from here? I use Ubuntu 20.04 with Orca master and Mate 1.24. _______________________________________________ orca-list mailing list orca-list gnome org <mailto:orca-list gnome org> https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/orca-list Orca wiki: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Orca Orca documentation: https://help.gnome.org/users/orca/stable/ GNOME Universal Access guide: https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/a11y.html
