I don't know if it was meant to come across that way, but, to me, that was
kind of rude.

You had no business even trying to use google chrome without chromevox.  
Two years ago google held a webinar and explained to all present that the
chromevox add-on was where all screen reader support for screen readers will
be placed for google chrome.  Let's get clear about something else here too.
The most support chromevox has in it and the most mature support is for
versions of jaws.  I use nvda at home and will never use jaws at home and I
don't have any problem running google chrome with chromevox on windows7 at
home.
