Describe the solution you'd like

HP Secure Browser is part of HP Wolf Security package. It is a chromium-based web browser where individual websites are isolated in separate virtual machines. To support screen readers, windows UIA trees are remoted between the virtual machines and the host. IAccessible2 interface is not remoted, hence HP Secure Browser is a rare case of chromium-browser which supports UIA but not IAccessible2.

In theory assuming perfect UIA support in both NVDA and Secure Browser, NVDA should work out-of-the-box. In practice there are a number of tweaks and fixes required to improve UIA-on-chromium scenario on the NVDA side.

HP are planning to submit individual pull requests referencing this issue.
