Hi branden,
I imagine chime will speak for himself, as to my awareness, he is the only 
person  who  takes these steps.
My best guess, speaking personally, is that doing so helps him distinguish 
the browser names.  Chime is using a Linux based screen reader due to his 
experience of blindness.
Best,
Karen
