     Hi all,

This is absolutely, well, I won't say what I'm thinking, since this is a 
family friendly list, with decent people on it!

I'm on a web site, and looking for a house for a blind friend, it was, a 
great web site.

https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-search/Michigan/sby-1
It was great, going from lowest to highest price, just fantastic!

What I would do is, when the web page loads, I just type a dollar sign, 
because then I can get the actual price for the home/lot, immediately, 
and if it was affordable, I could down arrow and look at the listing.

However, it is not usable now, because ads interfere with my screen reader.

And then, I'm totally lost on the page!

And to Mike, I downloaded brave, and I love that it gets rid of ads, but 
I could not use it with my screen reader, I have no idea why.

So, I guess I'll never be able to look for houses.

Even sighted people cannot look at web pages, because of the ads!!!

So it's not just the blind.

What I wish is, there has got to be a web page with no ads that mess 
with my screen reader!

Now you cannot look for houses at all, on a web page, from lowest to 
highest price, like the page I gave you.

You can try it, but you'll probably be interrupted with ads, like I was.

Harry
