The most accessible build of the most accessible browser to use with 
Gnopernicus (at the moment) is the Sun branch of Mozilla 1.7.  Download from 
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/accessibility/sun-mozilla-1.7/04-26-2005/

Sun's Mozilla accessibility engineers have put back most of the accessibility 
fixes from our branch into Mozilla trunk, and are now focusing on Firefox 
accessibility.

Reading a web page is unfortunately limited current to caret navigation in the 
browser - press the F7 key to turn it on (it'll persist across reboots) and 
then use the arrow keys, ctrl-arrow keys, home & end to navigate the text. 
The unfortunate thing is that this doesn't work everywhere yet, and due to a 
bug in Mozilla, Gnopernicus flat review doesn't work.  Please see the bugzilla 
bug in the GNOME database:

  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149789

and more specifically the bugzilla bug in the Mozilla database:

  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=257424

which describes the problem.  This is very definitely on the list to get fixed.
