I can confirm that this does not work in any version of Ubuntu.

For example, it does not work in 16.04, 19.04, and it even doesn't work via the snap package installation forced by Ubuntu 19.10:

If you need to test this, go to any of the articles listed here:

If you open an article in Firefox, the browser will read the article to you.

If you open an article in Chromium, it will not.
