Yeah, Thats where it really shines. When you go into VO utilities and under navigation set the mouse cursor to move the VO cursor, you can explore an app or webpage. I found this pretty useful on facebook. It also helps me converse more effortlessly with sighted people about things on the Mac. I can tell them exactly where to find a button in Garageband or a link on a web page and vise versa. I also like using the trackpad command on the web. I rather set a trackpad command to navigate by links for example control flick left than press control option command L on the keyboard.
