Hi,

I'm currently using JAWS 2018 but would like to try NVDA to see where it might be better to use.  I'm hoping someone can answer a few questions
First:

1.	Given a Windows 10 64-bit OS, is there any incompatibilities or
"gotchas"  when installed side-by-side with JAWS 2018?
<lr>No problems that I have seen unless you try to run them simultaneously.</lr>
3.	Does it work with the latest versions of Firefox and Chrome?
<lr>At the moment, JAWS isn't working with Firefox, while NVDA does. This situation is going to change from month to month. They should both be supporting Chrome. 
NVDA by default displays web pages in a manner that more closely reflects the layout. This can be changed if it bothers you, so that, for example, each link will appear on its own line. 
JAWS has the second mode of presentation by default, but it can be set to a layout mode that resembles NVDA's presentation. </lr> 
Thanks,

Dan
