a greatly simplified navigation experience for users on certain software; a screen reader
will read these links first, before the content, and a text-only browser like Lynx will display
them before any other content. Certain browsers can also present these links as an additional
toolbar appended to the normal browsing window. In Opera, click View ?¤ Toolbars

View ?¤ Show/Hide ?¤ Site Navigation Bar. This functionality is not native to Firefox, but can
be used after installing either the Link Toolbar or the Site Navigation Bar extensions.13
