[nfb-talk] Questions for anyone using Google Chrome On The PC.

Sun Jun 4 23:54:27 UTC 2017

Hi, Larry, since originally posting, I'm finding other people using choome very successfully. I still have not gotten all my questions answered, but one solution is turning on smart navigation in Jaws with Jaws key x. That does help with some of the navigation questions. The latest answer I've seen is to access toolbars with F6, hitting it again or tabbing over to toolbars and entering on the one you need.  I'm going to keep digging because I do like Chrome.
