[Trainer-Talk] web browser recommendation

I switched to Chrome late last year and have very much enjoyed the
experience. The Chrome menu bar is not as extensive as it is in IE,
but there are a lot of keyboard shortcuts in chrome. Also, if you go
into settings or history, they come up as web pages, with headings
marking each section in settings. JAWS support is very good for chrome
and I think many blind people use it. I heard from a coworker when I
made the switch that unlike IE, when a page crashes in Chrome, the
whole browser does not crash. Chrome is smart enough to stop that
single troublesome page. For me, IE crashed from 1 to 3 times daily. I
have not had Chrome crash and become unusable for me in quite some
time. If you use Gmail in the web browser, the Gmail shortcuts like
Alt I and Alt C actually work in Chrome, unlike taking your focus to
the link in IE but not activating that link.
