My experience with using Crome with Jaws 13 (just recently upgraded to 14,
so can't comment if things have improved) was so-so to poor.  I found it
less accessible than Firefox.  The browser GUI, such as the menus and option
screens are much more difficult to navigate.  And as for using it to access
the web, I found that it often had a difficult time communicating changes on
the page to Jaws.  For example, when AJAX updated a portion of the page, or
when a section of content was dynamically loaded, Jaws wouldn't read the new
or updated content.
This same problem happens once in a while in Firefox as well, but refreshing
the virtual buffer usually solves it.  Sadly, this is not the case in Crome,
and I haven't been able to find any workarounds.

Good luck.

Aaron
