Hello,
Iceweasel works just fine under Debian. What version are you using? As for
your question about Chrome, it can be made accessible. However, this
requires installing the non-open-source version, called Chrome. This
however is not a perfect solution, as their are still a11y issues. The
a11y extention is installed with the Chrome Web Application Store, which
is not accessible before you install the extention. So, you will need some
sighted assistance to get the extention up and running. However, on
subsequent installs of Chrome will not require this. This is because your
preferences are maintained in your Google account profile. So, once you
sync your browser to other machines, the a11y bits will be downloaded to
that machine and installed.

the version of iceweasel is 18.1 it seems. i'm a linux user, coming from
windows.. maybe i haven't got used to browsing with linux? for example,
when i want to write in google search, the voice (echo keys) lags.
or when i try to aero up/down within a website, i feel... an
unresponsiveness.. it's hard to explain.
Another problem that i have is that the sentenses are cut in some pages
for some reason.
for example, i have to aero down sevral times to read a complete
sentense. (two or three words in a line). don't think i could get google
chrome working then. have no sighted assisstence for now.

In later versions of Firefox (AKA Iceweasel), the support is far better.
Have a
look at mozilla.com and download a targz-file for Linux. Unpack it to
your home
and use this one instead of Iceweasel.

Do you mean that i should install the firefox itself? is it possible? i
thought iceweasel and firefox are the same.
is the installation hard? i have little experience with commandline.
Thanks guys for helping.
