[BlindMath] Inaccessible Math in Chrome and Edge

Hello

This was caused by a recent update to Chrome. Edge is also effected 
because it uses the Chromium library.  There are open issues on NVDA

https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/17421

and on Chromium

https://issues.chromium.org/issues/380161205

So far it looks like the Chrome developers haven't identified the 
problem, hopefully they can fix it soon.
