When a user with a screen reader activates a link or button in Chromium, it should be treated as a user gesture exactly the same as if they had clicked on that control using the mouse or keyboard. Otherwise it's impossible for them to trigger certain sensitive operations (like installing an extension) that are not allowed to be scripted.
