[Trainer-Talk] A Google Drive Bug With Chromium-based Browsers

I personally am a huge proponent of the theory that as a blind computer 
user, one must install more than one screen reader and more than one Web 
browser (or perhaps several), and learn how to use them. Those all are 
good tools to put in a user's toolbox. If one doesn't work, then the 
other just might. I find many times that some sites or Web apps work not 
super great on Edge, or Brave Browser (which are Chromium derivatives I 
often use), and they work much better in Firefox. Or vice-versa. Yeah, I 
can understand that learning a new software or browser can be a time 
crusher when one is just learning, but is sooo much better for mental 
health and frustration levels, as opposed to learning it on the fly or 
when what we're so used to doesn't work. Believe me, I've been there, 
and it's something I tell and / or model to my students.
