Chrome, OR other top browser - edge, or firefox count too. Any free web browser with more than 1% market share in 2027 in the USA would count.

Example of what is required for YES: I can visit a page like this: https://github.com/openai/whisper and hit ctrl+f and type "english" and it would "find" that the word "English" clearly appears in one of the images, in very clear text.

Example UI:

If this page disappears, something comparable should be used to replace it. It can't be something provided by github or by pre-calculation. it has to be live-looking inside images for the text you search for.

It doesn't have to be enabled by default, but through "normal" options (not extensions/addons) it can be enabled easily and basically works. It has to be on PC or a mobile device, both are okay. But it's for viewing the web, web pages in HTML

It doesn't have to work in videos, nor in blurry or handwritten text. It can use online live processing; it doesn't have to be set up to use my GPU. But it can't have been precalculated by the page provider in some kind of alt text, nor by anyone else as part of their initial scraping or preparation for the page.
