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

[David Goldfield]

Matt, I used to tell my students that anyone could give them a set of steps to complete a task and that if that's what I wind up doing they should run out of the classroom. I told them that I wanted them to know "the why behind the what."

I've always been in opposition to steps based training once we've past the beginner stages of training.
  I always preach know how to use at least two screen readers and two browsers at least from a basic functionality stand point.   On top of that always know at least two methods for completing a task as inevitably one day one method is not going to work.   It's just as important to know the why as the how.

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.
