Why do you think he/you will find NVDA difficult compared to Thunder.
I very much doubt that is true, but I'm not a user. Others here might
help explain. The NVDA guys are VIPs, very friendly and use it
themselves.

It really is easy to install and un-install addons. Firefox + NVDA is
a fantastic combination and you will have the best possible access to
web sites, even newer complicated ones (assuming they are well
designed as always).
