It's not you, I think the web browsing experience is smoother on windows because screen readers use a flat representation, so they can do things like read text like a document, not stop at links in text, and so on. I prefer web browsing on windows, just not enough to sacrifice everything else the mac does better. I also like the iCloud tabs feature and really easy downloads interface, just not the actual web browsing experience.
As to first letter navigation, just go to the vo utility, the commanders category, the quicknav tab, and check the relevant box. Once in a great while it will still fail, but you can use vo-cmd with many keys to move around if that happens. Vo-cmd-h, for instance, moves to the next heading. For edit fields, I find they behave oddly with quicknav on. If that happens, I just turn it off, type my text, and turn it on if I need it. Between the vo-cmd keystrokes and the web rotor (vo-u), though, I don't use quicknav much at all anymore.
