Hi,
Tablets are becoming prevalent, and so does penetration of Internet. Some tablets does have keyboards, while majority are slates without a hardware keyboard. Also, many tablet users (including blind users) use their device for web browsing.
Thus I'd like to propose a feature to allow web browsing on touchscreens via elements using touch gestures alone. The specifics are as follows:

• A dedicated web browser mode that'll be available if browse mode (virtual buffer) is active.
• The browse mode would use one or two finger flicks to select from a list of navigable elements and to move from same element to next. For reading text within an element such as heading, one would use text mode.
• For elements list, I propose the following element choices: landmarks, forms, headings, links, lists, embedded objects and tables.
• If needed, a way to toggle between focus and browse modes using touch gestures.
  If you need testers, there are at least two (myself and another user) for colaboration.
  Thanks for your considerations.
