While I agree with your sentiments, the fact is that Microsoft will be discontinuing Internet Explorer in the not-too-distant future (2020, perhaps?) The company wants all Internet Explorer users to migrate to its new browser, Microsoft Edge, or we will have to find a working replacement browser (such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox). For this reason, I have moved over to the Mozilla product from Internet Explorer for most of my forays on the Internet now. And, hopefully, when Narrator is updated to support braille displays, I can then begin using Microsoft Edge, despite its own shortcomings, as a permanent replacement for Internet Explorer.

Hi folks,
Well, still looking at google chrome, and even though I love the pages 
loading faster, what a mess it is.
Do you know that you cannot use first letter navigation when you are in 
the list of bookmarks? I tried it, and nothing happened, so, you'll have 
to down arrow all the way to the bookmark you want, and press enter.
And here's another problem. I found the bookmarks folder, but when you 
open it, it says, "how do you want to open this file?"
I opened it with both internet explorer, and using note pad, and what a 
mess. It's a list of your bookmarks alright, but it's names and computer 
codes, and it's not a list of icons like it is in the favorites folder 
in internet explorer.
So, I think I'll just stay with internet explorer. It's much, much 
easier to do what you want there.
I wish I didn't have to report that, but it is what it is.
Harry
