[nfbcs] google-chrome on linux

[Misty Williams]

Below is some steps I found on the internet- I have not personally tried it,
but I hope this will help:

:Hi all, 
It seems that there is now a very easy way to install ChromeVox under 
Linux without sighted help. 
Basically, download the following file: 
http://the-brannons.com/kgejglhpjiefppelpmljglcjbhoiplfn.json 
And put it in a particular directory. 
I'm running chromium, and for me, that directory is 
/usr/lib/chromium-browser/extensions.  If I were running chrome instead, 
it would be /opt/google/chrome/extensions. 
I'm running chromium on Gentoo, and I have no idea whether these paths 
are distro specific.  You may also need to create the extensions/ 
directory.  I had to do that. 
Once the file is copied, just start chromium or chrome, and 
chromevox *should* start talking! 
I don't know if this can be used for older versions of chrome / 
chromium.  For what it's worth, chromium 29.0.1547.32 is installed here. 
In any case, I'm finally able to do an eyes-free install of chromevox 
under Linux! 

Thanks to "floppym" for showing me how to do this.

If I start google-chrome on linux I have no speech.  I need to take control
and get into the add-ons search box and have chromevox installed for speech.
I do not have sighted assistance available for this either. 
Does anyone on this list know the necessary keyboard command sequence to do
this?
