Jude,
Can you send me any press on the blocking of all third party screen readers plan? I simply do not follow how Google believes it can take choices away in this fashion simply because they are tired of trying to support choices, so want to educate myself, and perhaps do some press of my own.

Not if you can't use google.  If useability declines for screen reader
users then it becomes unuseable and out of the race.
If you open up one of your search results the = key will toggle between
your result and an information page.  There will be two URL entries on
that information page and where you are will be the second of those
urls.  The Federal Government isn't going to like it at all when google
blocks jaws users since that's the screen reader that has a monopoly on
United States Federal computers.  If Magic and whatever else
freedomscientific purchased is also blocked, the Federal government will
take notice and maybe take action eventually.

but google is the best search engine.
when the situation occurs normal internet usage is impossible with a browser,
that browser should bring the solution, not the users by moving away from such
large things as google. the smaller search engines do not give the same qualit
of results, are much more oriented on the us than on the netherlands for
example.
sincee this is the dev-list, this is my feature request. i think a browser can
not take itself serious when the most visited site on earth is not usable.
