#16377
Summary of the issue:
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.
Users have to explicitly configure in NVDA advanced options to "use UIA for Edge and other chromium based browsers", for NVDA to work with HP Secure Browser.
Description of user facing changes
Users won't have to explicitly configure UIA for all chromium-based browsers when they want to use HP Secure Browser
Description of development approach
Detect browser with a process name of "brchrome" which represents HP Secure Browser and flag it as not supporting IAccecssible2. In this scenario, UIA will be used by default for HP SB.
