[Trainer-Talk] web browser recommendation

[Marci Duty]

Nicely put, Wayne.
I made the switch to Chrome as well and like the browser for the many things I need to accomplish on the Internet.

A marvelous Monday to each of you!

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.
