By comparison, NVDA (2020.1) announces the live regions first before the button names in all instances.
In summary, updates made in aria-live="assertive"
regions are not immediately announced in JAWS with any browser and role="alert"
is not announced in Chrome as expected. Detailed information on live region support can be found on the Accessibility Support site.
