NVDA and Firefox work quite well, for the most part. In the current
environment, though, you need different combinations of browser and screen
reader for different tasks. No one screen reader or browser works with
everything, because they have fixed different sets of quirks as they were
developed
There is an ARIA standard, but it is subject to interpretation and
misinterpretation, and this probably goes double for the screen readers that
are trying to cope with it..

So does any other screen reader do better at the current moment? nvda?

Yesterday was almost the last straw for me, as Forms Mode failed across
three sites, using Internet Explorer and Firefox.
We have not had any progress with respect to making Browse Mode more
stable since last December. I am not even certain that any developments
of significance actually occurred, but v8.4 is more stable than its
predecessors in the version eight series.
The elements which make up modern web pages appear now to be so numerous,
and the interactions so complex, that where once window-eyes was the
leader in web accessibility it has seemingly fallen out of the race.

Subject: Browse mode frustrations
Regardless of whether I use Firefox or Internet Explorer, I find it
extremely frustrating to navigate some web pages when W E 8.4 is
constantly turning Browse mode on and off, despite the fact that I have
turned auto load off. Please tell me if there is a truly reliable
solution to this problem, not some partial solution.
Thanks.
