[GUI-Talk] new microsoft edge

Fri Jan 17 21:40:40 UTC 2020

I'm on the site you suggested. Where do I go to download Edge? It says
"Sellect your OS to download, but I can't find a way to select my OS.

Hello Rob,

The new Edge is out.

----
Spoiler alert, it is accessible.
Right on schedule, one year after Microsoft announced they were going to
switch to Chromium for their next version of Edge, it is now available to
the general public running Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 and recent
versions of Mac OS.

You can download the new browser from
https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.microso
ft.com%2Fedge&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cd3e673841c6741bdc25a08d79a71157c%7C84df9

SwKBOQGXDG6sydIrpHFgJEhrSVZ%2BbmIv7WwY%3D&reserved=0
 and once you install it, any Windows 10 icon for Microsoft Edge (desktop,
taskbar, start menu and/or live tile) will take you to the new Edge.
According to tech blogs, Microsoft is going to push this version to all
Windows 10 users through Windows Update at some point but for now, anyone
can download it from the link above.

Accessibility

My initial test with Fusion proved positive. The first time you run the new
Edge, if you are running a screen reader, you will be presented with a link
to learn about the new accessibility features in the new Edge browser.
Webpage navigation with JAWS is about as snappy as it is with Google Chrome.
I also tested Supernova, which immediately cried foul when the original Edge
browser was loaded. Supernova no longer directs you to use Google Chrome or
Internet Explorer, probably because it detects the Chromium resources and
treats the browser as if it was another fork of Chrome. Reading the web with
Supernova actually works on the new Edge browser.

	Hi Rob,
According to a member of the JAWS Users group which I own on Facebook, the
new Microsoft Edge will be rolling out gradually with most people being
offered it sometime this spring. Here is a link to a Microsoft support
article about the accessibility features in the new version of Edge. Article
title: "Accessibility with the new Microsoft Edge":

Subject: [GUI-Talk] new microsoft edge

Hello all:

My understanding was that the new Microsoft Edge was suppose to roll out a
couple of days ago on the 15th. I have been using the new Beta version of
tis. According to articles I have read, it was suppose to update
automatically. However, I got a prompt a couple of months ago saying that I
woulde be prompted to download something when the new official version of
Edge was to roll out. Can someone set me straight on this?

Thanks in advance.
