Not countering your assertion, but curious about it: I've been using Chrome almost exclusively with both JAWS and NVDA for a month or two without serious issue, but there's probably a lot I don't bump into on an average day of
surfing. What sorts of problems have you seen or learned of with Chrome and NVDA?

No, you're right about Chrome; it works most of the time but still has some
issues.  You'd think that they would be fixed by now but Google has a habit
of introducing accessibility regressions every time they make something
actually work right.  Not to mention that using gmail, its own product, with
Chrome and NVDA is less than viable.

Hello Liz,

Edge sort of works under JAWS Version 2018.1803.24.  However, when I use
Edge and JAWS, Edge is slow, and my alt+tab window shifting is slowed down.
For a while, I went back to Internet Explorer.  I have problems with the
Chrome browser's ability to work with buttons, especially on Chase and Wells
Fargo web sites.

Each persons experience may be different from my experiences.

Hi everyone,

I am curious if anyone is using Microsoft Edge? I currently have Google
Chrome set as my default, and have looked at the Edge browser, but I haven't
used it yet.

Liz

I mostly use Chrome now and I changed about four months ago.

I used to be a devoted firefox user, but after this I switched completely to
google chrome a few weeks ago. Anyone else?

I have downgraded to the Firefox ESr. Firefox recommends that.
