Is Chat GPT broken ON Safari?

Hello all.
So with Safari I am not able to hear what I am typing in the prompt.
It looks like Safari does not recognise that widget as a text field after all.
Even when I search Using single key quick navigation, I don’t find any text field.
The place where I am able to type is now called popup dialog button, but it actually is the field where we type.
Words are not spoken, deletion is not announced nothing behaves like it is a text edit.
Further more I am not able to go to the upload dialog to upload files etc.
This actually works on Chrome pretty fine, so wondering if everyone here is experiencing this?

There are random bugs since 4-5 months, but very recently yes the edit text is not really accessible. You can still do shift escape to focus into it, type text, you won't hear what you write but with arrow keys and other regular mac text command you can still read/modify everything while writing.

Trying to type something on ChatGpt/S safari version since yesterday, under IOS, but mentioned issue occured also here.
Textfield says something like message composer and everything, what you're writing isn't getting heard. Upload button has been completly gone.

So this works like a charm in Chrome.
Upload file works too.
In fact off late a lot of things have become very accessible with Chrome, including amazon and linkedin.
Wondering what's wrong with Safari, but good for us that Chrome is doing the job perfectly.

Well, if you're tired of dealing with errors and accessibility issues in Safari and thinking of switching to Chrome, I’ve got bad news for you. Pretty soon, you’ll notice how broken VoiceOver is with Chrome too—like how it treats the same text as if they were separate groups, slowing down navigation, or how sluggish it gets on the YouTube website. Selecting text is also a pain, since arrow keys don’t work the same way they do in Safari when navigating by line. Web browsing is a mess. We shouldn't have to use different browsers just to get a decent experience—it’s unacceptable, but no one seems to care. I’m really loving my Mac, and I’d love it even more if web browsing actually worked better.
