there is a sort of way to follow links in the Opera browser....

Opera has keyboard shortcuts to almost everything...When I press the 'A' key, a highlighted box jumps to the first URL showing...pressing 'Q' goes in reverse from the bottom...then pressing 'enter' takes me to that link. I use this all the time, just to avoid clicking the mouse. I suppose the text reader could give you some idea of what is at the link, but this is NOT a complete solution. If one is blind, the complexity of many web pages could require way too much time to figure out what is there.

I may just experiment with Mudcat and ReadPlease, if I can work out how to alternate between the browser (Mudcat) and the program...if I KNOW I have a page I want to read, I can do the ctrl A...alt-tab..Ctrl V thing, then have it read to me...but I am sure it would get tedious. I do know one person who is blind and deals with mauch stuff like this...I'll see what I can learn
