The site itself is probably working as expected.

jidanni@, could you elaborate what Chromium/Chrome changes that you think
would be needed?

Today's CSS allows you to have `:focus` pseudo class to use in selector, and
`outline` property etc. can be used for highliting where the focus is at.

If the site intentionally hides outline on currently-focused element, that's
the intention that Chromium cannot do anything against.

I did not ask anybody to click any links on  https://www.couchsurfing.com/get_verified .

All I asked is that you push the TAB key, which is found on the left side of your keyboard, multiple times.

Push many TAB key presses until focus ends up on the "Forbes" link.

Observe the twelve additional presses will go full circle and bring us
back to the "Forbes" link.

Observe that after the Forbes link, the Times, New York Times, and
Guardian links all have nice outlines around them when we arrive at them
(via TAB key presses.)

So of the twelve presses that it takes to return to "Forbes", four of
them are very clear.

But some of the others are not so clear.

And some of them are completely unknown -- we don't know where we have
been taken.

If Forbes is 1, where is 7 and 8? 9 is the URL bar.

(One has to use (ALT V Y N in) Firefox to turn off the CSS to see where!)

jidanni@ thanks for the feedback! I see now what you mean.

On web content area, if something is currently under focus, you will see
the link URL on bottom left.  That indicates your action (Enter key) would
take you to that location.

The visual appearance (outline around Forbes etc.) are controlled by the
site's CSS.  It seems to me that the top-left corner (the "couchsurfing" logo)
intentionally avoids having such focus effect.  So if one wants this to be
more visible, I guess it's an area of accessibility assistance.

And if all the web contents' focusable area are traversed, the focus goes
back to non-web contents area.

> If Forbes is 1, where is 7 and 8? 9 is the URL bar.

So focus 7-9 are in the Chrome's UI (not in web content area).
9 is definitely the URL bar.
8 is "Secure" indicator which shows green lock icon, and hitting Enter
shows a popup to change your preference about the site's permission.
I'm not sure 7.

When the focus is on 7 and 8, I see no visual indication in those UI.
I tried on Win/Mac, and behavior was similar (Mac has a slight difference-
the security indicator didn't have tab stop, so "8" was missing).

I think this is a recent issue about the Chrome's UI revamp for material
design.  Can someone triage this?
